As I took these photos, with my camera focused at the surface of a shallow pool, a little girl watched me. I heard her mother’s encouraging words, “Go ask her what she’s doing. Go ahead.” She took a few steps toward me before deciding that the bird flying by was far more fascinating. Her mom studied the water’s surface for a few moments though, and then with an acknowledging smile, she trailed off after her little one.
a symphony of color

This morning around the oak tree (that towers above the house) there was a symphony of color at play.
Spring light illuminated new growth, including golden pollen.
The wind brought sweeping movement.
It was a song celebrating life …
from the grand moments
to the tiny details.
A passionate composition of fierce expression in glorious color and texture.
At least that would be my music review. 😉

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. 😉
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.
