hot off the press: branches
Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged abstract, art, beauty, books, Branches, Inspiration, landscape, nature, New England, Photography, trees on March 12, 2014| 3 Comments »
When I wrote the photo essay Branching Thoughts at the end of last year for Creativity-Portal.com I made some promises that I actually wasn’t sure I was going to keep, about being disciplined and stop putting off until tomorrow what I could conceivably do today. I love trees. I’ve always written about trees and once I picked up a camera I began photographing them, especially the branches. I’ve finally put together a big book of branches, a 108-page collection of images taken across Massachusetts. It is available as a soft cover book or PDF for $8.95. Click on any of the images below to check it out.

trees standing tall in the Fells
trees in shadow upon the ground
and the music that inspired as I decided which sylvan images to post

evening light, in a new home

Thanks to all of the folks who have been encouraging me to enlarge my photographs. I did so with a print of “Evening Light” and I’m happy to share that it has found a new home at Rockland Street Elderly Housing in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The 18″ x 24″ framed print will hang with many other pieces selected by the senior center with the aid of The Art Connection, a nonprofit organization connecting artists and donors to community service organizations through the placement of original art. But … please do keep in mind that I love my postcards, notecards and small prints that can be slipped into an envelope. So if you’d like a “little evening light” in your home, there are blank cards available here. Have a good rest of the week, folks. 😉
why keep putting off until tomorrow …

… what can be done today? That was one of the thoughts that inspired the photo essay, Branching Thoughts, now appearing on Creativity Portal. To what do I refer? Well, when you have a chance, please read the essay and then you’ll know what I mean. 😉
FYI, there are many other wonderful essays, articles and more to be found on the site. One of my favorite end of year items is a beautiful 2014 calendar designed by Creativity Portal founder Chris Dunmire and available for download month by month or all 12-months at once for “less than a cup of coffee.” Can’t beat that these days. Hope you have fun exploring all the different words and images on the site.

Based on very nice feedback about the tree and leaf images from my recent travels, and a special request, I have begun transforming some of the images into archival quality prints. Unframed prints of this “one tree” from Dublin are now available here.

morning sky

There is poetry among these branches of the oak tree, with their few remaining leaves that are quite red in the full light of noon but in the wee hours of morn they are dark shadows fluttering like the wings of moths or butterflies, and then there’s that backdrop of a sky transforming from rosy dawn to bluest day. Poetry, indeed. I’m just not sure where the words are hiding. In some nook or cranny perhaps just waiting to unfurl …
