I feel like Kermit the Frog today. I found myself dressing nearly completely in green. I’ve been thinking of photoshoots and all of the items happen to be green. I’m obsessed with cultivating a little winter garden in a sunny nook of the house I live in, and it just so happens that most of the plants are rambling green vines. Here are a few of my favorite green photos of the day, taken in and around Boston. Enjoy.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
— from Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer

Butterflies have always been a part of my life. Quite a variety made their way through rural southern Virginia. My brothers and I found a little green pod once. We watched it grow transparent and out drip a wet-winged Monarch. White and gold butterflies were most common. Every now and then a blue butterfly would appear and that was an event that delighted everyone. Today living in the city I don’t see many butterflies at all unless they are on exhibit at local science or natural history museums. But whatever I experienced in my youth continues to inform my creative self to this day because I continue to draw upon these winged creatures for inspiration.
