You know something spectacular is happening when you see drivers pulling to the side of the road so that they can take out their cameras and smart phones to snap a picture of the sky, or to simply stare in wonder.

where the jelly swam

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a function in Manchester, MA. A beautiful spot on the coast, with lots of sunlight dancing on water. 
With such white sparkle upon blue waves …
… I could not help but think of starry skies and their bright, colorful sweep across the universe.

As a child I made mud pies dusted with dry sand as if it were confectionery sugar, but sculpting sand into delicate forms? Never learned that magic art.
This particular sculpture, Imprinted, was one of several featured at this weekend’s Revere Beach Sand Sculpting Festival and was created by artist Sue McGrew from Tacoma, Washington.
fishing at spot pond

As we rested with feet in the pond, Steve kept trying to identify the fish swimming in the shallows so that we could return with the proper lures. We had not come prepared to fish, only to scout a new possible location. I snapped a few fishy photos for him but then I got distracted by sunlight on water and other creatures by the shore.
You can read more about Spot Pond and other features of the Middlesex Fells here. I’m not sure if he and I will return to fish. You see, he actually likes to catch fish. I am more into the zen of fishing. We’ll see … 😉
walking in sunlight

In the heart of the city, adults don’t tend to say anything. They’ll pass me by and pretend not to notice me as I lean precariously over fences into private property or kneel at the base of trees.
It is the children who ask, even as their parents are sometimes trying to shush them, “What are you doing, lady?”
When I tell them that I am photographing sunlight, they ask, “Well, how do you do that?” And I say with great drama, “Well, the way I choose to photograph sunlight is as it pours over the branches of the trees and creates shadows on the ground.”
The older kids raise eyebrows in disbelief but the younger children, they sometimes nod with great understanding.

That is the theme of the May/June 2013 issue of Alive Now, a lovely, thought-provoking bimonthly publication. I am honored to have the above photo appearing in an issue addressing a topic that affects perhaps all people in different ways. On the magazine website, there is a section called Visual Psalmists where the photographers in each issue tell the story behind their images. The May/June stories may not be up yet, so for now I’ll just share that I took this photo on a marina in Miami years ago while waiting to meet up with friends. I sat on a bench, turned my head, and there it was in silhouette.
