    Some wonderful images here, especially the grass seed head. You are getting as good with a camera as you are arranging words. Motherhood has NOT taken the artist out of you but rather enhanced to artist in you. Fresh, alert, spunky, and beautiful point of view and a vivid way of looking at the landscape of life.

      Thanks, Bill! The babe did come with me... his first real stroll along some trails, and he really did help me see things in new light. Great fun.

    I really like these shots...it is easy to shoot photos of the pristine snow during the winter. But the melting season is just as good. Ready for spring!! Thanks for sharing!

      So true, Virginia. There is a lot of brown around here these days, but beauty is still easy to find if one just looks for it.

      Thanks, Tinajo! Easter was great; lots of family, good food, and temperatures in the 50s! Love love love the blue sky.

    I do love the second photo. The melting and refreezing process and its granular product always reminds me of improperly made fudge - just a little gritty, but just as sweet.

      What a perfect association. And what a tempting thought... Easter may have come and gone, but I am not over eating chocolate. :)

    Emily:

    Keep taking that baby outside, as I know you will. It will be an amazing experience to see the natural world through his eyes as he grows into that unique, fresh, childhood awareness where everything is new.

      Definitely, Richard. We went outside yesterday, and just watching how Elliot reacted to the wind skimming his face was a wonder. "What is this sensation? How does it work? I am blinking my eyes this quickly because I want to understand, to taste it with fresh sight." :)

Sliding Doors: One Last Glance Toward Europe

We entered the Tube around 9:00 in the morning, a mass of noisy students and a few adults, taking up a section of platform. We had told the teens: "We'll start you on your journey, but you'll have to find your way back. Pay attention." The anxious ones stayed near us, the eager ones studied the green and red and blue and yellow lines on the wall map. "We'll need the Circle Line," one said, and after nodding, we passed the phrase among us like bread, or sweets, so when the train arrived, and the sliding doors opened, we all walked through them with enough nourishment and energy to know where we were going . Later, we stepped out of trams into the high Swiss landscape at Pfingstegg Station. After London, most of the kids didn't even look at the trail map. They just started up. One foot in front of the other, one sore-muscled groan after the other, a collection of revelations. We walked under rock ledges and over small streams.  We talked abo...
