Anna Surface - Love that photo! Simply lovely and great composition. I've clicked over and looked over the article at Memoir Space. I'm interested in something like this. I bookmarked this and will read more tomorrow morning when I am rested.03/09/2010 - 6:37 pm

Montucky - I love that photo too! The cactus pottery with its bright colors goes beautifully withe the rough textured wall. So typical of Arizona!03/09/2010 - 9:00 pm

Gandalf - The look through hole is a great visual.03/10/2010 - 7:35 am

Molly - Decisions, decisions, right? LOL03/01/2010 - 1:24 pm

Anna - An omelet with cheese and peppers with a good dash of hot sauce would taste very good! I like photographing bottles... with stuff or not. Nice hot stuff shot. :)03/01/2010 - 4:46 pm

Montucky - An omelette sounds good, and of course plenty of the good stuff to put on it. That looks just a little like one of the shelves in our kitchen.03/01/2010 - 9:27 pm

Gandalf - great photo. Love the hot sauce.03/02/2010 - 10:48 am

Debi - This makes me hungry. Everything tastes better with hot sauce on it, and I'm crazy about Mexican omelets with hot sauce. Tabasco is KING in my world but I'm up to trying them all! Next time I visit Wisconsin I so need to try this place - I'm salivating!03/03/2010 - 2:34 pm

Gandalf - I love how the pitcher stands out.02/27/2010 - 7:13 am

QuinnCreative - Beautiful coloring. I love the ocotillo outside and the watering can inside. Great composition.02/27/2010 - 11:03 am

Montucky - The can is nice and colorful. I also like the contrast of the indoor and outdoor plants.02/27/2010 - 7:55 pm

Anna Surface - Hey, that is a really greet shot! I like the white tones, contrast with that splashy turquoise watering can and the squares. Very inviting photo.02/27/2010 - 8:39 pm

Preston - Looks like modern art. There are many lines, reflections, and shadows, but the pot boldly stands out. I like this.02/28/2010 - 6:08 am

Aiyana - Hope you enjoyed your trip to AZ! Aiyana02/28/2010 - 2:57 pm

Marcie - Wonderful soft colors here. Great eye!!!03/01/2010 - 6:19 am

Molly - This photos are my favorites. It reminds me of the "Even in the times of sadness or darkness, there is a spot of color to brighten the world around you." If that makes sense. Love this.03/01/2010 - 1:18 pm

Susan - hauntingly lovely...03/01/2010 - 4:36 pm

ybonesy - I really love this photo. The tonal quality. Perfect!03/02/2010 - 9:13 am

Debi - Turquoise and Arizona....how perfect is THAT? Love this shot and artistic creation, Bo. Really, really nice.03/03/2010 - 2:31 pm

Sue - I admire how you composed this to make such a artistic image from a watering can in a window! Nicely done!03/07/2010 - 12:32 pm

Debi - Hey...how'd you get inside my house? JK! LOL! I mean, wow. Is this house fantastic? Mr. Wright was a genius. This is stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your photos and experience with us.02/24/2010 - 3:33 pm

Montucky - That sure does look relaxing and comfortable. I'm not sure how efficient all that glass would be as far as air conditioning is concerned. I wonder what the school is doing now to increase heating and cooling efficiency.02/24/2010 - 5:23 pm

Anna Surface - Awesome you got to tour inside the house! I love the wide open space and windows. I would have more live plants and built in fish aquariums with weather tempered glass, of course, and riotous gardens outside.... if this were my house.... Seeing this makes me dream.... Love Frank Lloyd Wright.02/25/2010 - 12:51 pm

Susan - I have gotta say...the red painted (and chipped)stairs leading to the door...is my favorite part of these images:) Looks like home...02/26/2010 - 7:11 am

Gandalf - I love the lines in his designs, but i'm not sure I favor his taste in furniture. One heck of a day dream, though.02/26/2010 - 8:18 am

Molly - I wouldn't mind taking a book into that room there and have a little reading session. :)03/01/2010 - 1:04 pm

ybonesy - What a brilliant man to have created such inviting space. I love how functional and gorgeous it is both.03/02/2010 - 9:15 am

Molly - Love that blue color, it's gorgeous!02/22/2010 - 3:41 pm

Anna Surface - Memoir Space sounds wonderful! That is something I might like to do but for now my time is limited. I'd love to pick up writing again and what a great way to do so. Love those deep blue containers. By the way, we've moved to our own website and have a new photoblog. Thanks for answering my questions after you opened here. :)02/22/2010 - 4:08 pm

Bo Mackison - Thanks Anna. It does sound like a big commitment, doesnt it? Just so you know, a lot of these projects can be done in 15-30 minutes, once a month, no special skills or equipment - except maybe a computer and some sort of camera. The neat part about the project is that, with a little time, it will accumulate over the months. When the time is right for you, it will happen!02/22/2010 - 4:22 pm

Gandalf - I love the blue pots and cast shadows.02/23/2010 - 7:23 am

Sue - Congratulations on being part of the team at The Calm Space! Now I see just why you made such a lovely self-portrait! :) I'm afraid that I nearly forgot to comment here on Seeded Earth because I spent so much time at The Calm Space. I have subscribed to The Calm Space newsletter and will certainly try to follow your work there as well as here, my talented friend!!!02/23/2010 - 11:51 am

QuinnCreative - What a great shot to announce your memoir space. All those pots of memory to fill. It's a deep and wonderful photograph.02/27/2010 - 11:02 am

Bo Mackison - Quinn, I think you are the only one who noticed the metaphorical aspect to the photo. Yes, filling all those pots with memories--what a collection one could have!02/27/2010 - 11:38 am

Debi - I LOVE this shot, Bo. The way the building across the street, obviously lit by the sun, reflects in stairstep manner up the left side of the shaded building. Yeah, the palm trees rock this shot, like exclamation points!!!! I'm crazy about this image.02/20/2010 - 8:36 am

sherri - Beautiful reflections here. I was surprised by the Palm trees. I've only been to Arizona once and it was when I was a kid.02/20/2010 - 11:06 pm

Montucky - That is a very pretty shot, Bo. Despite the big building, those tall palms give it a relaxed feeling for me.02/21/2010 - 9:40 am

Marcie - Exquisite..extraordinary reflections. Love the waviness!!!02/21/2010 - 12:16 pm

Gandalf - I love the positions of the palm trees. Fun photo.02/23/2010 - 7:21 am

Marcie - Love the colors. Great eye to have seen and captured these extraordinary shadows!!!02/19/2010 - 7:10 am

Montucky - Beautiful! How nice it must have been to spend some time there this time of year!02/19/2010 - 10:54 am

Sue - Now THAT is a wild image. Great eye to have spotted that one!!!02/20/2010 - 5:55 am

Debi - Very pretty!02/20/2010 - 8:36 am

Molly - Indeed, love the shadows.02/20/2010 - 7:23 pm

Gandalf - Very sharp edges. cool photo.02/23/2010 - 7:19 am

Anna - LOL You see where other photographers do not. This is a wonderful capture of "simply seen" of the light contrasted by the colorful, textured walls. I really, really like this image!02/18/2010 - 11:40 am

Robin - I get it. :) And like it very much.02/18/2010 - 12:41 pm

Molly - It's a very "One man's junk, another man's treasure" sort of story, only switched a bit. Sometimes we take for granted simple little pleasures, like an awesome lamp for instance. Takes a good eye to noticed the little things. :)02/18/2010 - 9:39 pm

Marcie - Not 'odd' at all. Simply perfect!!!02/19/2010 - 7:11 am

Sue - Love this! The contrast of the colors and the curve of the light makes for a bold, geometric image. Simple but GREAT.02/20/2010 - 5:58 am

Debi - Most people can see, but not everyone has vision. This is a wonderfully artistic image, Bo.02/20/2010 - 8:38 am

Gandalf - simplicity personified.02/26/2010 - 8:27 am

Wendee - Oh, no worries; *I* get it. What lovely details, and how wonderful that you took the time to see and capture it as you imagined, as well!03/09/2010 - 10:15 am

Molly - This would have been breathtaking to see in real life, such a great moment captured. Sunsets are always some that captivate my attention, love this.02/17/2010 - 7:55 pm

Montucky - Magnificent photo, Bo! That scene just naturally leads to good poetry.02/17/2010 - 10:19 pm

Abbey of the Arts - Bo, what a beautiful photo and your poem is such a deep invitation to be present to the rhythms of sky and earth.02/17/2010 - 10:30 pm

Joanna Young - Oh Bo, I just love the last few lines of this. These words in particular "a multitude of stars alight the heavens, milky streams of light,"... are deeply soothing.02/18/2010 - 2:33 am

Marcie - Such a gorgeous..warm desert image. And the accompanying words are perfect!!! So very creative!!!02/18/2010 - 7:34 am

Gandalf - captivating02/18/2010 - 7:45 am

Anna - What a beautiful desert sun and silhouette cactus scene! I love that poem... stirs deep. The part that touches: "I have journeyed long, watched sunrises and sunsets, and the ascents and descents of many moons.02/18/2010 - 11:15 am

Robin - This is beautiful. All of it.02/18/2010 - 12:40 pm

sherri - This is stunning.02/19/2010 - 9:29 am

Sue - Beautiful.02/20/2010 - 6:00 am

Debi - This is a favorite, both photo and poem. You've a gift, my dear.02/20/2010 - 8:40 am

Ed Vatza - I was scanning through you Southwest images Bo and this one just stopped me in my tracks. Stunning. Beautiful. WOW!02/26/2010 - 6:11 am

Sue - Black and white is a great choice on this; helps to emphasize the repetition of the lines and shadows.02/17/2010 - 7:39 am

Gandalf - I agree with Sue, the B&W creates a wonderful view.02/17/2010 - 11:25 am

Molly - I like this photo, it does give an very different perception on the cactus using the black and white. Very artistic.02/17/2010 - 7:51 pm

Montucky - That Saguaro is in very prime condition! I love to see them like that!02/17/2010 - 10:15 pm
