Picture of the Day: cherry wallpaper April 1, 2006
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Philosophy, Picture of the Day, Portland , 3commentsi admit it. i’m really not the most prolific writer. But here we are…
And i want to fill this space with interesting, enlightening,
and entertaining artifacts as a record of our travels together.
Many of our most meaningful connections and experiences
can’t be fully described and communicated with words alone.
Some beauty is always lost in translation.
So here’s a new category for posts: Picture of the Day.
Whenever i want to show you some good art, i’ll post a unique image or photo.
Sometimes it will be an image i’ve created, but more often it will be the work
of another artist whose vision i want to share with you.
Because one picture is worth at least a thousand words.
About this image:
i took this photo one June afternoon of some fresh cherries that i picked from
a huge cherry tree that grew outside my window.
These cherries were so tasty that i risked broken bones to climb higher up the tree to get more of that sweet ripe fruity goodness once i had picked and eaten all i could reach from my balcony.
And now, thanks both to luck and the miracles of technology, these “fruits”
of my labor are preserved right here on your screen —
eternally fresh, for your two-dimensional enjoyment.
You can use this image as a desktop wallpaper: click on the photo and it will open full-size in a new browser window. Then, right-click on the photo
and choose to set it as your desktop background.
This photo is part of my Flickr set “cherry/red”.
