Eagerly, a greeting card (5x7in)

Eagerly (adv): in a keenly expectant or interested manner : used to emphasize a strong desire to do or have something. What are you eagerly waiting for?

I was walking on a beach in Cape May with my dear friend Kathy when we came upon this driftwood creeping up the sandbank toward civilization. It's accompanied by a brilliant Victorian orchid (thank you, NYPL archive) and a woody, seedy, organic object I came upon dangling from a branch in the Bryn Mawr bird sanctuary. As winter sets in, the world hibernates in so many magical ways.

This "Adverbly" photomontage has found its way onto a greeting card. The series celebrates the almighty and much maligned Adverb, which is often tossed into an editor's waste bin. Now this one modifies a mashup of imagery - my own photos and other interesting finds from the public domain.

Each montage invites you to complete the work. Where does it lead you? What questions does it raise for you, or what does it inspire?

Share it and make someone's day - and, heck, let's make getting the mail fun again.
