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.

Sneak peak! My 2025 calendar should be available in just a couple weeks.. stay tuned! I have never made so many edits, swapped out photos, or changed formatting this much to any other calendar… hopefully making it the best one yet!

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 😂
