there was a small wooded area

through which there flowed a stream

frogs hopped about but those I could not photograph (I wasn’t fast enough)

but across the road in a field I found a bunny rabbit who mostly sat still except when he was nibbling

eggplants blossoming in dark purple and pumpkins blooming in bright gold

while nearby vines bear fruits

in many shades of green

Just another stone that stood out during a brief walk along the shore, found not too far from this one.

Today I saw three white butterflies tussling in the air. It was an unexpected delight of a sight as I raced past an open window. No camera did I have nor did I need. It was better for me to just pause, and feel the breeze, as I watched such a beautiful dance. Afterwards I sat with a piece of black paper and a white pencil and sketched them while mostly thinking of a young friend who is now 6 and about to turn 16 who recently asked, “what do you do with black paper?” The butterflies were fine for me but not good enough to post. But … I did recently take a walk with my camera and captured this little golden fellow resting on a green leaf. So, after all those words, it is his image that I’ll share. Enjoy, and may we all have a good week.

… while peering into the Charles River.

I think I was tucked at the base of a bridge along the Esplanade trying to photograph fish, and then I thought, why not photograph the patterns forming in and on the water.

I have not been back to the river much at all. We’ll see what happens before this summer’s end.
