I have an unofficial postcard club of 5, 6 and 7 year olds. It is mostly a quarterly mailing of nature-themed images. I have offered to hand the postcards to my young friends but they seem to like the idea of a handwritten note, a stamp applied, and the piece of paper traveling around the world (so to speak) before winding up in their mailbox, addressed to them specifically. I have told the older ones that one day soon I expect a note in return. 😉
If you follow this blog, you know how much I love producing postcards of the stained glass windows at Trinity Church in Copley Square. Of late, I’ve been focusing my attention on the painted walls. Expect a future post about the original paintings orchestrated by John La Farge in the late 1800s and later painting done over the decades during various renovations.
This postcard is of St. Paul on the west porch of Trinity Church. I especially love the reflection of the church in the glass of the neighboring John Hancock building. This postcard is now available at the Shop at Trinity Church.

a mood of the mind

I’m not completely sure what Thoreau meant by that phrase but those are the words that surface as I review these photos. They do capture a bit of the mood of my mind.
Appreciating the light. Both intrigued and challenged by the darkness. In an abstract space, and feeling like that’s not a bad space to be in creatively, but …
… also knowing that, especially on a Monday morning, one needs to find some focus. Or fake it really well.
I’m hoping another cup of coffee might help. Have a good day, folks. 😉

I chanced upon this beautiful creature while taking one of those unofficial shortcuts between houses and down some back alley stairs. An unexpected final shot before I made my descent.
