almost make way for ducklings

Four ducks making their way along Shannon Beach. I must say, if there is one animal that I have had much photographic-interaction with this year, it is the mallard duck. No matter where I find myself, in the mountains or in the heart of Boston, so long as I am near a body of water of any size, there will be a duck or two or four. The Make Way for Duckings reference is to this famous book.

In response to the previous post, I received some inquiries about availability of prints. Glossy and metallic prints, 5×7 and 11×14, are available for online purchase via this link. There you’ll find these and other images taken during my various hikes by the water and wherever the wind blows me.
The images are fairly unique and the prints are sized to facilitate matting and/or framing for easy display. The printing is top quality. I hope you enjoy, and have the opportunity to peruse other images on the site: http://photosbycynthia.smugmug.com/

a warm corner

I was originally planning to title this post, “phoning home.” I’ve not yet become comfortable taking photos with my phone but I really wanted to try capturing the fast falling light in this corner of the living room. Most of the items lit are gifts from friends and family. It was a grounding moment, reminding me once more that I am a very lucky person. 😉

… it was this photo of sunlit branches by the Charles River that was selected by the jurors. 😉 A framed print will be appearing in the Riverside Gallery’s 3rd Annual Juried exhibit, “African American Artists – Passion for a Lifetime – 2014”. I hope if you’re in the area you’ll drop by the opening reception on Sunday, October 26th, 3-5 PM. I’ve seen some of the other selected works and it is a beautiful and stunning mix of media and themes. The show will run through January 2015.
Other artists in this show include:
