The wonderful painter Joanne Tarlin has nominated me for a “Facebook Challenge.” Because of my inhibition about posting my new work on most social media platforms, I’ll post them here on this blog. I’ll plan to post 10 images here (hopefully every day or so) and post the links on social media.
I’ve been walking the aqueduct trails looking for something… A bit of light, a pop of color, something beyond the overgrowth, something to draw me in.
On this day it was a back way into the Sudbury Reservoir Dam. Sometimes I wonder if my fence jumping days are over. I remember the crunch of ice crackling under the tires of a ranger truck in the dead of winter. The excitement and fear of being caught or getting away with it.
No such drama on this day, the dam too far off, and pastoral softness, the cool shade, of a woody trail on a hot New England summer day too much to resist.
