I’ve lived in the Boston area for quite a while now, but there are always captivating images to be found in familiar places, like the Boston Public Garden.

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. 😉

In the field next door behind the chain link fence grow dandelions. Above the yellow heads skim white butterflies. A few starlings walk about. No other animals do I see. Green grass uncut. A few scattered purple pansies. And, always, always, the ash gray and brown bark of the nearby dying trees.

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

I took these photos a few days ago, indeed, after a spring rain. Today, these buds are bold blossoms, their petals glistening quite beautifully in melting spring snow. I didn’t quite have the heart to photograph the snow. 😉
