"Maybe it sounds corny, but I was really moved. I found myself welling up as I walked around, taking in such beauty..." No, Sheila, not corny! Human! The very reason I have always traveled alone, is so I can burst into tears any time I want and nobody is embarrassed. There is so much beauty in our world - we lose track, we forget to open our eyes. Your glorious photos sure opened my eyes this morning. Thank you. That photo of the door framed by blossoms is breath taking.
Thanks Sharron! That is beautifully said and I'm glad that you are also deep feeling out there. We need more of that, don't we? We are distracted and (many of us..ahem) anxious about the state of things, it's easy to keep the wrong tabs open and the right ones closed..you know what I mean? Hope you find some of your own sublime beauty today right where you are! X!
One of the great ironies of my love for photography is how much I enjoy taking pictures of scenes like this. Unfortunately, my allergies are so bad that, at the end, I look like a boxer who lost the heavyweight championship and a beloved parent on the same day.
HAAA! Thanks Glenn and sorry to hear that one of the flashiest seasons is a bit of a frenemy to you and your nasal passages! I think the only comfort people with allergies take in New England is knowing that in 10 minutes it could snow! :)
Thanks Kevin! They are a little insane this year..in a great way! The last few seasons have been so/so because of climate change shifts...so it's a bumper crop and I am not complaining at all! :)
Gaaahh so gorge Sheils! And I'm not even a pet owner but totally lost it when you described Spencer 😭 Thanks for doing all the research and photography for us Boston fans who can't be there!
Thanks my friend!!! I love dragging Boston to the far flung :) Yeah, there is so, so much that is moving about the marathon not the least of which the doggos who are right in the mix. How has Oprah NOT licensed the rights to that movie?????
15 minutes is right....timing is EVERYTHING in these months. I'd be lying if I didn't say I stress over the weather report. We were lucky this year with great magnolia and cherry tree blooms. Someone bribed the weather gods well! :)

Beautiful, and I love your lead-in narrative.

I promise I'm laughing *with* you here.
Those magnolias!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are NOT playing around!! Nope! I was in the city early this morning shooting the cherry trees...stay tuned! XO!
Those magnolias are incredible! Beautiful pics, Sheila.

I'm sure the Hallmark Channel is working on optioning it.
If not they are missing out AND WE SHOULD TOTALLY TAKE THAT MEETING!!! You make the soundtrack list....can we still get Natalie Merchant?
I’ll make some calls…
Good man….
You make a New England spring's fifteen minutes of gorgeousness look fabulous. So fleeting. So beautiful.
