campfire


The best part about any camping trip is always the campfire: heat, s'mores and friends.

reflected boat


This photo was taken at Camp Wing in Duxbury this past week. The trees were just starting to turn and the water was like a mirror.

half moon


I am fortunate to teach in a beautiful brick building with this cupola on top. And on a sunny winter day with a bright winter sky, the half moon stands out against the lit yellow monument.

first frost


The first frost of the season is one of my favorites...it usually catches everything off guard!

sea glass


I was glad I caught the sky and water reflecting a periwinkle color...and the boats' reflections were perfect that day....just like a piece of glass in the harbor.

summer promise


While I generally don't work in black and white, the ability to "flip" a picture effortlessly in Adobe makes it fun to explore a photo that is typically only seen in color, a rainbow. I was surprised and pleased that the effect isnt' totally lost in black and white.

shadowed snow


This is actually the subject of an acrylic painting I did this summer, called "Upper Davis Brook Snow" (see http://paintedpaperbyholly.blogspot.com/2008/07/upper-davis-brook-snow.html) ....the organic farm that I work at once a week is perfect to catch that early morning sun on a fresh snow.

Wells marsh colors


As I look through my archives this one always draws me in...the different colors in the marsh make it worth looking at again and again.
