The results of an impromptu walk around my neighborhood. I have to admit, I got a bit lost. Many hours later, my feet still hurt. But it was worth it, I think. 😉

Today I was a bit housebound with various projects. Still, the sunlit landscape called to me on many an occasion. As I have written before I am lucky to live in an old house well-kept in its old style with many windows of ancient rippled glass on all sides, some of which are double and even triple paned. It is both exhilarating and calming to move from pane to pane, over time, and try to capture an ever-shifting beauty from sunrise to sunset.

I took these photos around my neighborhood over the past week.

Hard to believe that there’s a chance of snow over the next few days.

After work today I revisited that parking lot I mentioned in an earlier post. I am still quite amazed at what’s to be found in the narrow bands of greenspace of an urban office park.









And finally can you see the two hawks on the poles? Since I didn’t have the equipment to shoot them clearly at a distance, I just enjoyed standing and watching them fly around for a while. 😉

… it was to a lovely, if chilly, new spot for us, the Cutler Park Reservation. We managed to do a loop around Kendrick Pond before the cold was just too much. I’m looking forward to revisiting, especially in warmer weather.

One of my favorite hiking spots in Massachusetts is the Middlesex Fells which you can read more about here. One year I was lucky enough to capture the above image of one of its waterfalls frozen. With recent frigid temps, Steve and I wandered back to the falls to see if it had re-frozen for this winter. Not quite yet, but there was plenty of beautiful ice to be seen.
