Autumn’s sweet burn
A little bored at soccer practice, I felt the call of the sun peaking through the leaves….The temps were dipping below 60, and that certain chill in the early autumn air was unmistakable. What I saw when I looked through the lens was that ever-battle between the seasons and the sun. Yet, despite the sun’s [...]
Loving the first signs of Autumn
My younger children attended a neighbor’s birthday party this weekend at a local farm called North Run. Beautiful place. Each year, they do a corn maze that is in the image of something rather extraordinary. I believe the first year they designed a blue crab; another year, they patterned GO RAVENS with a Ravens helmet.

Inkberry Autumns
I happened upon these early budding inkberries last week at my daughter’s horse farm, and the memories of early autumn in my backyard appeared as if they were made yesterday. My mother would give me that standard lecture every morning or afternoon that I would leave the house to play. Me–the Tom Sawyer wanna-be in [...]

It was a very zen experience for me, as I was exercising great patience in waiting for the right shoot to present itself to me. There were several stops that i could have made, [...]
Before Night Falls
I am leaving school now, as traces of dusk hint on the horizon. The temperatures fall so subtly, like the few leaves that have already found their way to the ground. The humid breezes begin to shift into their blustery, autumn siblings. This is the best time of autumn, transition within transition, the marrow within [...]
