Yes! I’m just learning to make baroque bassoon reeds, so adjusting them in any way is a bit scary. Except changing the shape of the wires - those can be bent back if the adjustment didn’t work.

But I had this reed that was just too heavy to play, so finally I decided that sanding it a bit could not make things any worse. And it worked! Now it’s a nice reed. I’m going to try this with my other unplayably hard reed and see if the effect is reproduceable.

Reed making seemed so scary at first, but apparently my method of ”lets experiment and see what happens” will work here just as well as with cooking, baking and sewing. :D

Sora In Hiding by Debra Martz
To find a Sora, look to the freshwater marshes. If you are lucky, one might appear at the edge of the reeds and cordgrass, but most often, they will be within the vegetation.

Seen at Estero Llano Grande State Park in Weslaco, Texas.

Some more cyanotypes from the last few days. It's not been sunny, but enough UV light gets through the clouds to drive the reaction.

Having said that, some of these exposures run into days...

Another Vermont #scape taken in 2009. I was living in Franklin, Vermont so anywhere around that area. This brings peace to my soul. #EastCoastKin #Landscape #photography #vermont #water #reeds #rural #beauty #country See ore @ deborah-benoit.pixels.com/art

The right art doesn’t just fill a space—it brings it to life. What do you think “Reeds on Edge of Lake” does to the wall here?

To me, it feels like looking out a window.

Reeds pierce the still reflections in an Alaskan lake, by Tim Boese

Vibrant vertical streaks of yellow and green create a blurred, abstract impression. These are early morning reflections of riverside reeds interspersed with light mist on the waters of the Chobe River in Botswana.
