The icy patterns that form on the inside of the windows in the old house where I live. The first time this season. Now it feels like winter. 🙂

I asked a certain physicist to help me understand what happened in the sky near sunset in Copley Square. We discussed the interplay of light and shadow. How the sun below the horizon was illuminating the clouds from below. How the sharp line in the sky might result from shadows cast by something on the horizon. Then of course there were the clouds at different altitudes. Shorter wavelength blue light scattered out. Longer wavelength red light left behind. In the end all we could agree upon was that it was beautiful.

The sun set today in Boston at 4:27 pm.

Happy New Year! No doubt it will be an interesting one.

Best wishes for peace and prosperity and an awareness of the beauty in the world around us.

Strength and courage will be necessary I suspect. As for New Year goals …

… I’ve made none, not really, except perhaps a commitment to continue to pause and to pause without expectation. These photos I took while pausing inside Trinity Church.

It has been my pleasure to photograph there many times over the years.



Each time there is always something new to see in the tower, on the walls, in the windows and even on the doors.

We’ll see what 2017 holds. 🙂

Bright afternoon light on the Charles River.

I simply needed to move. To get up. To get unstuck. And so I rose and walked over to the flower vases. They sit upon one of the small tables in the kitchen. I am a very lucky person … they are currently full of flowers.

I selected a stem and tugged free a few petals, arranged them on a plate, in no particular order except for the order they formed upon falling. More flowers I picked …

With the motion eventually came a bit of creative release. And joy at the beauty I have before me.

I am a very lucky person. 🙂
