a return visit

A few images from a return visit to a field in Woburn, Massachusetts.
A very small field in an office park with an amazing variety of wildlife present.
I wasn’t set up to photograph the birds (or record their symphony of birdsong) though I kept catching flashes of bright orange, red, black and gold feathers.
As always, I scared a few rabbits deeper into the underbrush.
No hawks this time or foxes.
In the end …
I mostly focused on the landscape.
after the rains end

The view outside one of my windows, after the rains ended. The sun still shines. I know that I am a lucky person.
on the road

By on the road, I mean walking around my Somerville neighborhood. Still chilly, but felt good to be out of the house and seeing what spring has to offer.
serenity

Why am I seeking serenity? Well, in short, I made the “mistake” of looking at the headlines of the New York Times but it is one of those deeds that must be done on occasion so you know, if only a little bit, about what’s happening in the world. After reading a few articles and sighing deeply, I decided I needed some serene images to pave my way for the rest of the day. So I went back through the files and selected these images taken a few years ago in a field in Woburn, MA. Hope you enjoy them and have a good Friday.
scenes along revere beach

These images are from a quick walk taken just before sunset
when the low-angled light was so bright and wonderfully illuminating.
The end of day was a bit blustery and I think the tide was coming in
producing ripples and waves wearing away at the sands.
I collected some rocks that I’m sure I’ll play with over time. Other items were picked up long enough to photograph but they were left behind and are now probably back beneath the ocean.
Such a walk was a nice way to end the day.
oak and rain

As I waited for the coffee to brew, I decided to snap a few photos of the morning rain beading on the oak tree towering beside the house.
For the most part, I focused through one or two panes of glass though at one point I did open a window and stick my head out.
Despite the morning chill, it was neat to see the buds on the branches and the subtle colors emerging, suggesting spring blossoms and leaves will soon to be.

hot off the press: branches
Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged abstract, art, beauty, books, Branches, Inspiration, landscape, nature, New England, Photography, trees on March 12, 2014| 3 Comments »
When I wrote the photo essay Branching Thoughts at the end of last year for Creativity-Portal.com I made some promises that I actually wasn’t sure I was going to keep, about being disciplined and stop putting off until tomorrow what I could conceivably do today. I love trees. I’ve always written about trees and once I picked up a camera I began photographing them, especially the branches. I’ve finally put together a big book of branches, a 108-page collection of images taken across Massachusetts. It is available as a soft cover book or PDF for $8.95.
