When my job takes me out to the suburbs, I walk through the woods at lunchtime. When my job is located in the city, I walk through the Farmers Market. And one of my favorite markets is the one located in Boston’s Copley Square. Here’s a photo I managed to capture during a quick sweep this past Friday. View more images here.

A nice surprise today when I checked email today and saw the latest Orion Magazine newsletter. At the bottom of the page, in the “Places Where You Live” area, there was a link to “a couple of our favorites.” Well, one of the favorites was a link for Somerville, Massachusetts. Since I live in Somerville, I clicked on the link and what did I see? Well, you can see for yourself. I hope you enjoy.

If you could travel back in time, what would you share in 15 seconds with your 15-year old self?
That is the writing prompt a friend shared with me yesterday at work. I did not have an answer until I pulled a book from my shelf at home, a book I had not read in a long while. When I cracked it open, out fell a bookmark inscribed with the following words: Remember that happiness is a way of travel — not a destination.
I think that is what I would tell my 15-year old self. I might also mention: And, no matter what, remember to breathe. 😉

What can you do with one can of tuna, leftover bread, a few veggies and basic condiments? This is what Steve creates.
Open 1 can of tuna. Drain, rinse, then place in bowl. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped carrots. Toss in 2 tablespoons of capers, 1 tablespoon of spicy brown or Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of olive oil and two cloves of garlic that have been coarsely chopped with sea salt. Mix all of these ingredients together. Meanwhile, thinly slice bread then sautee in olive oil until crusty. Rub with fresh garlic. Provide the following sides on the table as people prepare their own mini-sandwiches: finely chopped red onion, fresh basil and thinly sliced tomatoes. Chilled white wine makes a great accompaniment.

I’m pleased to share that starting August 19, I have six photos on view at the Underground Studios in Watertown, MA. The images are of select nature photos morphed into mandalas. Learn more about Underground here. View my images on your way to a yoga class or you can purchase the images in a print publication below. Either way, enjoy. 😉
