Most photos are of feather-y creatures, with some other photos of habitat and just plain ol' pretty nature. Fresh Pond Reservation is a calm oasis in a city setting. Many people in Cambridge, MA walk, bike ride, and run on the 2 1/4 mile path around the 155 acre pond. Birders also come year-round to seek out the resident and transient birds. I started coming to Fresh Pond regularly when I got my d

og Cisco. I pretty quickly started noticing birds, which is a hobby that was ingrained in me from my mom for decades. I have always liked photography, but had never thought of taking pictures of birds before. Pretty soon, my dog walks transitioned to taking pictures of birds while my dog waited patiently (or not so patiently) at my side. With our society's movement towards staying in touch via email, social media, and texts, sending cards in the mail has become somewhat of a lost art. I hope people will use these cards to connect with loved ones, whether it is for an occasion or just because. I also always think it is nice to share some of your home with the people you love. Cambridge residents, or those who just have an appreciation for nature and birds, can send these to share some of the natural beauty that can be found right outside your doorstep.

"The night is a sacred sanctuary where the mysteries of the universe unfold." - Embracing Darkness

The early sunsets are TOUGH for me... but I'm trying to work on finding ways to embrace the darkness. Any tips? In the meantime, cute Chirping Sparrow...

“I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.

‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.”
— Oliver Herford, “I Heard a Bird Sing”

There are so many kinds of time. The time by which we measure our lives. Months and years. Or the big time, the time that raises mountains and makes stars. Or all the things that happen between one heartbeat and the next. It's hard to live in all those kinds of times. Easy to forget that you live in all of them. ~Robert Charles Wilson

Happy Thanksgiving! And also thinking of those who may be struggling or missing someone or experiencing grief .. holidays can bring up so much ❤️

"This, my dear, is the greatest challenge to be alive:
To witness the injustice of this world, and not allow it to consume our light."

Really, really rough week in so many ways. This is easier said than done, but we can try.

Due to my back issues I sadly wasn’t able to make it to the artist talk at the Old Schwamb Mill in Arlington this past weekend. I was able to record my talk beforehand and they played it at the mill. If anyone wants to have a listen, here it is! I blame any loopiness on painkillers 😂
