These photographs make me happy. Maybe it's because i'm an air sign (i hate to admit there's anything to those sorts of things, but ... there is), maybe it's because the winter makes me stay inside for months and now spring is here - yesterday i stalked magnolia trees in the park, daring them to open their blooms for my polaroid camera. Maybe it's because I can breathe again. Clothes drying on the line always makes me wistful for summer days making camps on the lawn, the scent of Ambre Solaire floating on the breeze; years later lying on the swing-chair under the shade of the musty canopy, Duran Duran playing on my Walkman, calamine lotion soothing my sunburn. Not happier days, just younger days. My world feels full of more possiblity now than it ever did then. Funny that.

These shots are so beautiful and I think they truly serve as a symbol of yourself in certain ways. The motion, sky, wind - air, that's you. Just an outsider's observation.

So much beauty here in the simplest things. Thank you for sharing. I love the first one, but I am attracted to the water, rather than wind. I think there's something for everyone in this series.

Thanks for sharing...now that's what we call earth friendly.

Laundry on the line makes me feel that all must be well in the world. Perhaps that's why I called my blog 'Life Laundry'.

I have to totally agree with you about the "signs" thing. A few years ago I finally realized something I'd always known: that I must be near the water. As a water sign, it just makes sense that my well-being and feeling of peace is tied to the water. Doesn't have to an ocean. A respectable-sized lake will do. :-)
