Transfixed by swirls

Yesterday afternoon and evening the skies opened and much needed rain fell on our part of the world. The forecast called for more today. As I headed off to yoga I donned this swirling water t-shirt. The earrings seemed to match, so I wore them, too.

We had no rain today, but the low pressure felt like a looming storm. Tension in the air. Thick enough to warrant a paddle.

I bought these earrings from a vendor of African handicrafts at the Delaplane Strawberry Festival. Her display had taken a tumble during transport, and this was one of the few intact pairs she had available.

I love this swirling pattern, so simple, so transfixing. I made myself a swirling copper pair today, then altered it a bit: one remains 2-dimensional, the other now dangles in 3-D.
