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 …

Dish soap drizzled onto a china white plate.

Milk in an indigo glass.

And turquoise paint on a brush.

Kaleidoscopic Tree

Well, as gray skies gave way to rain, I figured it was okay to pull out pictures and papers and glue once again to play with colors layered on the page.

Moonstruck

The moon is still significant, as are boats sailing the blue seas.

The Race

These sails were inspired by some Japanese block prints I viewed online.
