Wordless Wednesday

Long, early morning shadows cast on Sunday.

Just Getting Started...Christmas Cards

What wonderful Christmas or holiday cards! The top photo was taken of the historic Armington House (circa 1868) in December of 2007, the night of the storm here in Rhode Island. In the photo that you will receive on the cards, (4x6) there is a warm sepia/golden tone to enhance the depth and bring out the details of the house. The bottom photograph was the view from the second floor of my home while looking at the top of my neighbors' house last winter The light was so striking, I'm glad that I didn't miss the moment!. Carefully packaged in rice paper tied with hemp string. A lovely present as well! Set of 6 for $15. Check out my Etsy shop for details.

Peaceful View

This is a view of the Providence River which leads to the bay, which leads to the the ocean. This is one lovely, peaceful stretch of landscape which I see during my daily walks by the water. There is a bench just about where I took this photo, so that people can sit and rest, read a book, meditate on the loveliness of the scenery. Right now, my Mom is in the hospital with pneumonia. She's in what they call a 'step down' unit. Not quite intensive care, but not a 'regular' room. She says that the service is pretty good...not so bad. So, her sense of humor is in tact. She is quite frail and she'll probably be there for about a week. I am 3 1/2 hours away and will most likely go be with her when she goes home. Mom has plenty of family and friends to visit her in the hospital. So, once the sun comes back out, and I'm on my daily walk by the water, I might just sit on that bench where this picture was taken and pray and meditate on the loveliness of this view, with loving thoughts of Mom.
