As I walked along the Charles River yesterday, I found myself transfixed by the winter grasses and the bared branches of the trees. In the winter light, they became surreal.
Today, as I write this post, a gentle snow falls in the city. I’ll be curious to see what the river looks like tomorrow!

For my friend Melissa I photograph frogs. For Anulfo, I am trying to track down calla lilies. And for Emily, I keep my eyes open for owls, like this little stone fella.

A very gray day here in the Boston area. Makes it easy to spend time creating these colorful prints. Not sure of their final presentation. Maybe print them out on watercolor paper and place in a dark wood frame? Perhaps print on silk and create a scarf or a wall hanging? All of the images are of branches reflected in water.

When my friend R. received documents to edit, one of the first things she did was to break up the text and fiddle with margins. She explained to me that she was creating white space, i.e. giving the reader’s eyes a place to rest. This morning the concept of white space came to mind as I pondered which photo to share. An image not so busy or full of color. A difficult task, but then I remembered this photo of a rain-kissed flower.

While I fear the coming cold, I love the autumn sun. These are images I took while chasing the setting sun at home, through windows on two floors. I especially love how the light falls upon the oak tree, and on the wings of my butterflies.
