Light Thoughts on a Sunday Morning

Imagine if Van Gogh had experienced light pollution comparable to what is experienced in many urban cities today. Most likely, he would never have painted Starry Starry Night. Mention “Milky Way” to a teenager living in New York City or Los Angeles. Given the young people I’ve spoken with, they know the candy bar and they remember the term from science class. But they really have had no experience of looking up into black velvet night and seeing the milky sweep of the galaxy that is ours. So many of us write about inspiration, but what source of inspiration has been lost as we have, often by necessity, dimmed the heavenly lights so that we may brighten the light upon land?
Belle Isle Marsh

Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in East Boston, Massachusetts is Boston’s last remaining salt marsh. It is a family-friendly, dog-friendly (i.e. watch your step!), easy to traverse recreation spot. Because it is near the airport, there is often the interesting juxtaposition of a plane flying over as a white heron or mallard duck or any number of other seabirds look up at a fellow winged beast.

It is a regular hiking spot for Steve and I. I enjoy photographing the foliage in silhouette against the sky …

… and the end of season seeds and berries about to hit the ground.

He enjoys collecting juniper berries for one of his special sauces. 😉

You can read more about Belle Isle here. And, you may read more about Steve’s Juniper Berry Sauce in the near future. Yum. Meanwhile, have a good Monday, folks.
A Beautiful Blue Morning

This morning, after a hearty breakfast, I set out with my camera, up and down the spiral staircase, snapping photos. At first I tried shooting randomly. Butterflies. Light filled bottles. Coffee grounds and unfinished toast. But, quite frankly, I can only be random for so long. My brain started to look for patterns in terms of what was drawing my eye. In the end, of all the beauty around me, I decided to keep focus on the color blue. Like a blue marble left by a child in a crack in the floor.

Dish soap drizzled onto a china white plate.

Milk in an indigo glass.


And turquoise paint on a brush.
