the next step

the show is over... now the assembly of look books. line sheets. fabric swatches. press kits. order forms...
off they will go to potential buyers.

a crisp night of spring

stars twinkled on either sides of the runway

mica adorned models excited the eyes

'the perfect ending'

night pause

the designer steps out into the night

to celebrate the beginning of the most important week in the industry

the busy day has gotten the best of her...
she pauses. looks up. and is renewed by the sight of the moon gracing the evening sky.

apple

warm crisp leaves...holding on until ripe...
final descent.

i see blue skies above

and i think to myself... what a wonderful world.

stepping stones

dawn awakes with the breaking of ground and sudden sprouting
shelter found in the cool crisp morning
safe for only a little while
"... soon, in the twilight coolness, you will come

To the circle that you seek and, one by one,

Stooping into their fragrance, break and gather,

Your way a winding where the rest lead on

Like stepping stones across a grass of water."

-charles tomlinson

shedding light on the season

for man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.

for nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.

-edwin way teale

the foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of august, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.

undertaking the journey

early morning drive w.a sliver of moon light guiding me toward the city...

exhausted mind. tired body. must remember 'don't forget why you do what you do- because you love it and it creates purposeful meaning in your life'
miriam cecilia keeps trekking...

shades of grasses

crisp air sets in and the sheaths of prairie grass begin to leave their seeds behind... for the next year...

couture within reach

with bursting cream blossoms above

moon river from the strings of the harp filling the air

tea cups clinking of pumpkin spice tea

miriam cecilia was seen all around.. igniting all of the senses
