Landscape – Untitled #115

In November 2023 we were at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois in, what proved to be a rather crisp, raw, pre-winter day. As is our habit, if we don’t have a clearly defined destination, we will drive along the paved roads throughout the Arboretum until we feel “led” to pull over and just see where our footsteps take us.

It was a chilly, windy day which precluded any macrophotography for certain. As we walked down the path, a short distance from the car, braving the cold wind, we noticed the clouds in the sky over this section of the surroundings near Crab Apple Lake. The way they were, it seemed, “sculpted,” and “brushed” in such unique fashion determined that we should put them in our Etsy Shop for those who are drawn to the sky and cloud portraits in particular.

Also included in this type of “grouping” from that day that can be found in our Etsy Shop are Landscape – Untitled #116 and Landscape – Untitled #117.

Abstract – Untitled #114

In September 2023 we were, once again, at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois. We had parked the car in a parking lot near the woods and just strolled about the area patiently anticipating what might capture our attention.

At the edges of the parking area, just past where the asphalt ends, is a row of wooden posts set to keep cars from driving into the plants. The top of one of the posts is visible in the center of the picture. Projected on the top of the post is the silhouette of a nearby plant. We love black and white photography and put this rendition of the image in that format in our Etsy Shop. We felt a bit of abstract mystique portrayed in this picture and offer it as such.
