There is a muscular energy in sunlight corresponding to the spiritual energy of wind. ~Annie Dillard
but sometimes when you wake up to snow at the end of april you have to travel back in your mind to exercise those muscles
photographs from last weekend taken in cambridge, plum island and castle hill
( as I am just writing the last few words , the sun has peeked out through the clouds and I think my working my sunshine imagery muscle has worked:)

Such lovely photos. That acid yellow lichen on stone is so beautiful.

It's not easy coming back from balmy-lush Hawaii to THIS cold and grey and snow, but your beautiful photos are a warm hug. Oh well, more quality time with my handknits too...

I needed this today. We still have little snowbanks against our house. Sigh. Spring is slow this year.

Very nice to see, as we are having a very overcast week here in Western Massachusetts.

Beautiful Photos! I am loving the yellows! I also love Cambridge (and most of Massachusetts for that matter)! Spent a few weekends there meandering around the streets while my husband was a work. Its so pretty, I would so love to live in Boston or Cambridge. Anyways, that lichen on the cement is so lovely!

I was talking to one of the "grandmothers" at the market the other day, when all of a sudden, lavish amounts of spinach appeared at her and others' stalls. She said: everything likes the sun, child. I love the strength of sunlight, and how it is recorded in those yellow petals and patches of moss you photographed.

I love that quote by Annie Dillard. You must have read "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek". I think you would love it.

I made a forest friend who should solve that kind of problem :) I'll show him soon ...

I think i am going to have to work my sunshine making muscle today too. The cold and rain has to end soon, right? Happy Earth Day, Margie!
