Rowboat and Roses – Chatham
Newton Porchfest
According to Wikipedia, “Porchfests are annual music events held across the United States and in Canada on front porches. Started in Ithaca, New York in 2007, porchfest events bring local musicians and neighborhoods together to celebrate and create a sense of community.” Newton held it’s second annual Porchfest last weekend, and it was, in my opinion, fantastic. Who knew there was so much talent lurking in my own neighborhood? Here is one of many acts we took in, local singer Alizon Lissance belting out a song in front of a lovely porch in Newton Lower Falls.
Spring’s Progress
Kitchen Window Still Life – Martha’s Vineyard
Red-winged Blackbird and Cattails
Milo And The Geese
While walking by Ware’s Cove, I came upon this young aspiring goose herder working on his technique. The geese seemed unimpressed.
The Back Door of the Bakery – Auburndale
Trinity Church – Copley Square, Boston
In case you are wondering, that’s the New England Mutual Life building reflected in the window.
Thanks to Dan B. for identifying the reflection, and for a fascinating tour of the Back Bay.
A Passover Picture, Arches National Park
Passover commemorates the escape of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. In Hebrew, Egypt is Mitzrayim, which also means “narrow place.” Passover is also a time to give thanks for safe passage through the narrow places in our own lives, be they illnesses or other hard times.
Grandma’s Hand
Two years ago this week I took this picture of Lynn holding our then six week old grandson, Noah.
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
