Just another stone that stood out during a brief walk along the shore, found not too far from this one.

white black gold

Today I saw three white butterflies tussling in the air. It was an unexpected delight of a sight as I raced past an open window. No camera did I have nor did I need. It was better for me to just pause, and feel the breeze, as I watched such a beautiful dance. Afterwards I sat with a piece of black paper and a white pencil and sketched them while mostly thinking of a young friend who is now 6 and about to turn 16 who recently asked, “what do you do with black paper?” The butterflies were fine for me but not good enough to post. But … I did recently take a walk with my camera and captured this little golden fellow resting on a green leaf. So, after all those words, it is his image that I’ll share. Enjoy, and may we all have a good week.

… while peering into the Charles River.
I think I was tucked at the base of a bridge along the Esplanade trying to photograph fish, and then I thought, why not photograph the patterns forming in and on the water.
I have not been back to the river much at all. We’ll see what happens before this summer’s end.

the vacant lot is now a garden

For the past few years, through the rippled glass, I have most often photographed a nearby vacant lot where dandelions would grow rampant.
But in time all things change.
In late spring, a new neighbor moved in and he has turned the field into a garden.
It is quite lush with green mounds of this, green hills of that and …
probably green peas spiraling up a new terrace made of string.
When the wind blows just right, I can catch a glimpse of gold squash blossoms.
