winter chickadees!
Saturday a friend and I visited the Audubon reserve in Ipswitch to hang out with the winter flock of chickadees. The same birds would come back again and again for seeds. It turns out that they hide them and can remember thousands of hiding spots!
Rachel lures the chickadees with a smile and patience!
pondering creation and humanity at the Museum of Natural History
Last week I visited the Harvard Museum of Natural History. I’m generally an art-museum goer and was astonished by what was in this collection. Whether or not you’re versed in science, seeing things from outer space and ages long ago gives our humanity a whole new context.
I’m going to add the museum to my list of “must-see” for all who visit me in Boston. Don’t miss this! Admission is only $10 and includes admission to the anthropological museum as well (I didn’t make it over there as I spent over 3 hours lost in natural history!).
This flower, along with 800 other botanical models, is made of glass! Simply unbelievable, and amazing to see both exotic and familiar specimens up close inside and out.
Meteoroids! Do you have any idea how far this traveled to end up here in Cambridge?! And what it went through as it entered Earth’s surface?
new photo exhibition
Visit my exhibit—Conversations with Nature—in the beautiful Central Path Wellness Center in Waltham and get a free consultation and discounted acupuncture treatment!
Conversations With Nature observes people in the natural world. How we name these interactions—exploring, playing, viewing, seeking, uniting with—reveals our own personal relationship to nature. The photos are grouped together to reveal the place itself, an individual’s experience, and how many elements coalesce into a single natural moment.
a walk at Kripalu
I was at Kripalu on Tuesday shooting some portraits and video for their marketing department. Jess and I took the chance to talk a little walk together.
Sunday afternoon in twos.
I took a walk with friends this past Sunday in the arboretum behind my house. I was in a “shooting two” mode I guess. Two of bamboo, two of Alexia, two of skyline . . .
Peter’s Hill.
yoga, meditation, and botanicals
While in the inspiring setting of the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, we decided to make some yoga and meditation photographs for my sister to use when presenting her study about how yoga practice effects pain perception.
more of Colorado on the way
In between this fall’s weddings and portraits I am still sorting through all of my photos from my trip to Colorado last month. Here’s a few random shots, much is more on the way.
This snake crossed my path in Mesa Verda…
The week’s hosts were newlyweds Paul and Sara.
durango farm day
While I was in Durango last month I spent a day weeding and snapping some photos on Cottonwood Creek Farm which Clementine is working for. So wonderful to be outside all day with everything growing and almost no bugs (thank you dry Colorado air!)!
Sprouts in the greenhouse.
Cindy, the farmer!

Farm puppy!
afternoon at the arboretum
Today, a perfect weather day, I wandered the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain.
The Boston skyline. I like it best like this—with trees between us.
New friends Mary and Dan. They were just chillin’ and chill enough to let me snap away behind them.
I thought I was going to get the cutest picture of this kid barreling down the hill toward me with his parents behind—and I was able to get an impromptu OK from them—but he changed his mind at the last second. Funny how 2-years-olds do that.
