The mailman must have wondered why I was sitting on the steps waiting for him! I’m really quite pleased with the production of this notebook and pouch featuring a photo taken in autumn, not too long ago, as I walked by the Mystic River.

Its leaves have turned from green to brown
with little variation in between
but still the light shines through them bright
revealing dark beauty to be seen.

Finally up and running on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynthiaestaples/
A group of Millenials around me finally convinced me to step into the 21st Century.
I’m kind of old school. Sometimes I just want a phone to be a phone but it has been fun walking in the world and exploring new ways to share what I see and experience.

along the esplanade

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 …
