My business keeps me so busy that I rarely think to spend some time just photographing for fun. Yesterday afternoon, I took Porter out for a play at Jamaica Plain Pond and brought along my camera and a 35mm lens. The sun was glorious, and the little patches of snow on the ground made everything sparkle. I love that the grass there gets covered in a slippery carpet of acorns. It’s very cold right now (you’d never recognize me underneath the giant knee-length winter coat, balaclava and thick gloves) but I’d so much rather that and have the sun shining. I honestly don’t understand why winter in the northeast has such a bad rep. Anyway.
Here are some photos, just for fun. Art, I guess. Marg, if you’re reading: these are for you. And for mum and dad, too.
Great shots! I especially love the last one. I’m a sucker for abstract macros 🙂
Thank you Tsuki! The last one is cracked layers of ice at the edge of the pond. It’s really strange and wonderful. 🙂
I love that, er, ”thing” in the fourth photo! It looks a lovely place to go play with puppies 🙂
Thanks Michelle. Don’t worry, I’m not sure what it is either!
I love the closeup of the ground with the warm sunlight and the moss. It’s always nice to take some time and just take photos for ourselves.
I love the ice in the last photo. So pretty. What a nice day.
Thank you ladies 🙂
i love the way you’ve captured little moments and special places at the pond!
Very happy photos. They make me feel all warm inside – it’s been snowing here a lot lately – snow in Nashville day after day? Who knew?
