Introspective Period

I have been going through a very introspective period lately. Thinking about my work and what I want to say with it. Exploring the connection between what is deep inside of me and what is created by my hands. I write in my journal everyday and sometimes what I write is articulate and in complete sentences. But other times I write just words and snatches of phrases to see where they lead me. I feel myself spiraling down and down deep inside to see what lies there. Like the more ancient myth of Persephone where she goes into the underworld willingly, I am heeding to the call of the voice from deep within the crack of the earth.

Magical creatures – ladybug, butterfly and hummingbird moth – all found in my S.O.’s beautiful garden. Oh, I am having fun with my camera!

A Visit to a Garden

Tower Hill Botanical Gardens occupy approximately 132 acres in Boylston, MA. In existence for about 20 years, it is a beautiful, peaceful place where you can stroll along many woodland trails and garden paths. There is also a shop, a library and a cafe with wonderful food.

I had the pleasure of visiting there recently. Of course, I brought my new Nikon D40 along for the adventure!

This is a wonderful time of year to visit because the gardens are bursting with color. As you can see, I was really inspired by the beautiful flowers and the magical creatures living there. Pan looks like he has a secret, doesn’t he?

I am looking forward to returning in the fall to see how the gardens have changed their colors.
