It has been a while since I strolled along the Charles River Esplanade.
It’s that time of year when I feel I can become lost in the water because the low sun is so bright and the reflections so sharp. Very little breeze (thank goodness) and so the water becomes a near perfect mirror.
For me, I stopped worrying about finding the perfect shot though I did have an agenda before I embarked on my walk.
I let go of that agenda and just accepted the beauty that was around me.

After making that necessary mistake of viewing the morning’s headlines, and after letting my blood pressure return to normal, I decided not to stew in negativity but to find a way to produce positivity. I decided to emulate the wonderful artist Jen Parrish of Parrish Relics. With each new jewelry collection, she gives back by donating a percentage of the profits from the sale of one pendant to a charity. The above pencil pouch can be found in my art of where store:

With the purchase of this pouch, now through November 15th, 50% of the profits will be donated to a local Boston-area charity serving poor and homeless women. On November 15th I’ll provide an update on monies raised. Thank you!
p.s. The origin of the image … one Sunday I needed to walk, so I walked by the river, and these branches are what I saw.

As I walked by the Charles yesterday, I could not help but think of the opening lines of that song, I was born by the river …

As I walked in the woods in Maine, I thought often of photographer Eliot Porter (1901-1990) especially when I tried to train my camera on the fall of light on bared branches …
and on shadows shifting across gray stone made colorful with wildflowers and lichen.
And then of course as you’re focusing on light and branches you realize that there are other things being illuminated as well.
Still sorting pictures. A wonderful work in progress. Stay tuned. 🙂
