16 butternuts! Okay, only 14 here but there were two I had gathered earlier. Not so bad! The cage also gave us 20 pounds of cucumbers and another 5 of green beans. We could have managed it a little better

The Boston Common Frog Pond goes through several stages each year. In summer, there is wading, and in the winter there is skating. Right now, I’m pretty sure you could find a frog or two. Even it’s the

I have a lot of fun playing with perspective and the illusion it creates of vast landscapes between a here a there that are both so near. This undulating rivulet could almost be flowing over a rocky outcrop

Okay, my puns need work. So, I'm always sure to keep my easel level, using a level, and I'll often use a long ruler, or my eye to make sure things look right, but when every millimeter counts, and I'm

What’s south of South Street? I don’t know, but by the smell of it, I’d say low tide. Considering this was once a tidal estuary, I’d be right. Phewy! But in this shot the tide is in and it’s calm seas

I caught this yesterday when I was biking past. There was a puddle where J don’t normally see one, and steam coming out of a manhole. The late season light is great for catching light coming in at low

I have had trouble defining the cars and trucks to the right of center. There are a lot of vehicles of similar colors, lined up in a row, and foreshortened by the angle. I thought a forearm was tough at

There is a large, iridescent, sparkly mesh hanging over the entrance to Downtown Crossing from Park Street Station. I think they just put it up, but I’ve seen it before, somewhere. Today I noticed it there

Boston is still waking up and looking for coffee in this scene from this morning on Summer Street in Boston. There was a time when I preferred the dress of the nineteenth century for its calm dark tones

I like what they've done with this building entrance. It was a post-modern monstrosity that matched the larger building above it. The entrance only occupies a small storefront on Summer Street. It was

On the left is how the painting was when I began to work on it this morning. I looked at the brick building in the middle and realized there were problems with it, and it basically needed to be completely

I have always enjoyed pointing my camera at the sun. Mostly because “they” say not to, but also because I get some great and unusual shots this way. This morning, I saw the low autumnal sun glancing through

A quick snap from this morning on my way into work. I used Rise filter in Instagram for this one. Don’t usually use that filter but it worked out well I think. Do you like it? Steepshot IPFS IOS Android

This area has been bothering me the most, so I’ve been putting a lot of effort into describing the details as clearly as possible. This requires my fully understanding what it is I’m seeing in the photo.

I saved these from a reno and never found a use for them. They’ve been sitting in the basement gathering dust for too long. I was considering throwing them away when I got this idea- to attach them and

When you pass by a place every day, it can get mundane. Here is Chinatown Gate in Boston. I park my bike here and walk to the train. Yesterday, I saw this puddle across the street and tried to get a nice

Does this photo evoke images of kids sewing leather wallets, making paper mache, or hunting for salamanders? It does for me. I can almost smell the campfire or taste the s'mores. A rainstorm had blown

I take a lot of reflection photos. I mean, obviously! But what you see is but a fraction, the tip of the iceberg, the cream of the crop. What does that last one even mean? Anyway, here is a sampling of

Although I prefer oil paints, sometimes I will work with pen and ink. This is a drawing I did, first in pencil, then with India ink and a nib pen, then with a brush dipped in diluted India ink. I love

Got this neat shot today biking in Beacon Hill. I really enjoy the warm brick reds in the morning light. People just waking up and venturing out into the street. The breeze made for a less than mirror
