Design Everywhere

Couldn’t resist this one. It was just there, as Anne and I were sitting and chatting at the end of the day. It was her glass, my preference being red, but no matter . . . what caught my eye was the symmetry, the chance reflections and the happenstance that came together in elegant and perfect design. Add to that my particular position for viewing, a penchant for noticing, and the equation’s complete.

Oh, and then there’s the easy access to a camera phone to record it.

With or without the camera, the noticing of such things is just that, a general alertness to beauty all around. In fact, it’s the overabundance that can dull us from the detail. Often it’s in the “cropping” that we can see it.

There’s much more I could say, and so could you, but today I’ll just keep it at that. Beauty abounds, sometimes it coalesces into design. Our part is just to notice. It’s its own art.

He who has an eye, let him see.

While here let me remind of our show at the house coming up weekend after this, both afternoons and evenings. You’ll find lots to notice. (Oh, and wine, red and white.) Here’s the invitation.
