This has been an amazing winter for sunshine amid cold temperatures and I fully expected to have lots of light-and-shadow photos to show you. But when I am outside, I seem to be mainly ogling the light and shadows and muttering to myself how glad I am to have seen that.
So today’s collection has additional photos from friends and family, who have been sharing more regularly.
My sister caught the moon on New York’s Upper West Side in February, and I tried to catch the Super Moon in Massachusetts.
I already blogged about my winter visit to New York (see the post on the Rubin museum’s Himalayan collection), but I wanted to add the port-a-potty for Asakiyume’s funny-potty-name collection — and also the pharmacist photo highlighting New York’s amazing diversity.
Next is a picture of my younger grandson on a ski trip to Vermont. He is climbing the walls, literally. I do it it only figuratively. Suzanne took the picture.
John’s photo shows a marine-themed lantern created by my older grandson yesterday at Arlington’s Art Beat, a shop where kids can buy art supplies or do a project — or both. His sister did a charming sand painting of a snowman.
Two pictures from Verrill Farm in winter show the scarecrow bean toss against a dormant field and a bench carved with horses’ heads.
The last photo is one that my artist-boss from community-newspaper days sent to a few former colleagues. It’s a still life that Bill Finucane painted for her out of the blue. Meredith writes, ” I had completely forgotten the wonderful gift of my assignment to help get Bill back on his feet and his job after a stroke and three years out of the world of work (four years not driving).” His painting is a gift of gratitude for her friendship.
I am grateful for yours.
The photo from VerrilFarm has a lot 0f humor in it.
It’s a grand place and has grown a lot since it was a simple farm stand where Suzanne’s friend worked in the summer.
A great mix of photos! That grandson is so high up that wall–that’s not my idea of fun, but I’m impressed!
As much as he loved skiing in Vermont, this was the thing he wanted to talk about.
And grateful for yours as well.
Hope there are signs of spring in Maine, Gail.
Love the geraniums in the window with a snowy background! Enjoyed the variety of photos and the painting. Grateful for you as well.🙂
Thinking of you in this difficult time for your family.
