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

or maybe seaweed washed ashore.



In fact, a small bundle of dried spring blossoms found on the ground.

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.

These scenes are from Boston’s Back Bay along historic Commonwealth Avenue. I must say, I am quite thankful spring has finally arrived. 😉

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.

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.
