It was back in December that I last posted a Words+Images update. It focused on end of year inspirations. Now with spring on the horizon, I thought it time to share new updates. Let’s see … 😉
Preparing for Somerville Open Studios




Somerville Open Studios 2011 is rapidly approaching and so I am trying to get myself in gear. I’ve been sorting through images, selecting a set that will be turned into notecards and others that will be matted and framed. For the first time, I will also have postcards available for sale. The images will be representative of the changing seasons. Seasons is the theme of my collaboration with artist Zoe Langosy.


Leading up to show there are many wonderful opportunities to exhibit including the upcoming SOS2010 Volunteer Show.
Sharing Stories



My business cards say “writer/photographer.” A better title would be “storyteller.” That is what I do whether with words or with images. With the passing of my Aunt Thelma recently, those fires within have been stoked to listen closely to those around me and to tell their stories well.
Finding Perspective
There’s all sorts of things I could say about finding perspective this year. With my camera, at least, let’s just say I found perspective by getting up close and personal with house plants and cut flowers.




One snowy day, I found a lemon …



And when the sun came out, I spied this bird sitting high in a tree.

I think that’s about it. More to share in the spring … which is only 8 days away!

3/11/11 Good Morning from western Pennsylvania! Woke to almost 8 inches of snow… winter’s last hurrah, hopefully. It is beautiful though! But remember, “March came in like a lamb, and will leave like a lion” so there may be more. Is it headed your way for tomorrow??? Can’t wait to see the forsythia, and crocus heads… LOVE the pix!
Hey Cynthia – Thanks for posting! I was inspired to bring my camera to the woods yesterday. Everything’s still quite wintery, but at least it was 50 degrees and my coat came off. Today it’s yardwork. Not very inspiring… 😉
Love your blog, Cynthia. Don’t ever stop!
It’s perfect for reading on an early Sunday morning before Maya and Susan wake up..
Thanks!
