If I were in the habit of swearing on my blogs, I would swear. It’s gotten seriously cold. Yesterday morning I was so stressed, I drove to the local 24-hour Metro (grocery store) to buy some chocolate. This was what I saw as I walked back to my car. (That’s not my car, by the [...]

a country drive
One of my favorite bloggers is doing a #photo365 project this year, and it’s inspired me to do a #photo365 project myself. I’m going to be taking at least one photo each day for a year, and sharing them on the Internet. I started yesterday, January 1, and the above photo was my chosen shot [...]

swing
Last week I swung with my mother on my parents’ two-seater garden swing. Summer bliss. I appreciate swings. And summer.

shady tea
Sunday afternoon I left my apartment and was surprised to find one of the other tenants hosting a small get-together under one of the majestic purple maples that shade the front of our building. They had arranged assorted wooden chairs from her apartment in a semi-circle under the tree, and a few small folding tables [...]

watering
The local papers have been full of stories lately about how desperately the city’s trees need to be watered. We’ve had a hot, dry and stressful summer for trees, and homeowners can help young or vulnerable trees survive by watering them regularly. As much as I love trees, and as important as I think tress [...]

a perfect summer evening
You know those summer nights when the temperature is perfect – not too hot, not too cool – and there’s no humidity, and there’s a little bit of a breeze that makes your skirt billow around your legs, and the light is golden, and everything seems to be smiling? We had one of those, Tuesday [...]

boardwalk
I actually took this photo not one, but two weekends ago, when I was walking in one of my favorite nearby woods. This path was flooded for most of the spring, and the day I took this photo was the first time I’d walked this way since last fall. (That’s the swampy edge of a [...]

walk in the woods
Whenever I can, I like to go walking in the woods. These are some photos that I took a few weekends ago, that I hadn’t gotten around to posting before now. The spring path was very muddy. Good thing I had a new pair of rubber boots (below). This area near Walkers Pond is very [...]

tree branches
I took these photos a couple of weekends ago when I was walking in the woods. I loved the textures and visual rhythms of the seed thingies on the branches below.
