Traveling by foot to the Mystic River can be a bit harrowing from where I live. There’s nothing like crossing a major highway, at a legitimate pedestrian crossing, without a crosswalk signal. But when you reach the river, it is worth it.

… but sometimes, it is. This day’s activity began with a desire to start sending out holiday cards. Inspired by recent interactions with children of all ages and with artists from many different backgrounds, I decided to err on the side of curiosity and creativity. For a while I had been wondering if I could transform one of my postcards (a simple stand of trees) into holiday stationery. Today I decided to go for it.

And so …
In the end, I expect I will send them to my youngest friends and family (or those who are quite young at heart), and who do not mind a bit of sparkle in their mailbox. 😉

At first I wanted to title this image, “Cuddling,” but I thought that might be too sassy a title for my simple breakfast. Wherever you are in the world, have a good day, folks. 😉

… I went for a walk by the water and what did I see? I saw a tree with pink-tinged blossoms filling the sky over me.
An unexpected late autumn delight.
a figure in ice?

I don’t know … I feel like I see a figure in the icicle. A drooping shoulder. A lean torso narrowing into nothingness as the sun melts its frame. Perhaps I have been reading too many fantasy novels. What do you see? 😉
