The weather has been warm for the past few days. Yesterday it was in the fifties, warm enough for a walk near the beach at Lynch Park, here in Beverly, MA. The park was crowded with people who were taking their kids to the playground, walking their dogs, enjoying the sunshine. Everyone had the same idea, even the birds! I took a few pictures of these seagulls enjoying the warm weather. Tonight I cropped the original photograph to get this composition. paperwaits on Flickr: Posted a Photo

Today wasn't quite as warm as yesterday, but fifty degrees was still warm enough for a walk at Obear Park, in the Ryalside neighborhood of Beverly, MA. You can see a bit of Salem across the water. It's a lovely little park, with lots of park benches lined up with a view of the water. Waiting for what, I wondered: boats going by, the drawbridge going up, perhaps summer boating events. But today, it just looked like the park benches were waiting for spring. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
Here is another image of Witch Hazel from yesterday's walk at Long Hill Gardens. In this view, the yellow blossoms show up against the dark trees and the pale sky. It was great to see some signs of spring on such a dreary day. But that is what the beginning of spring often looks like. It isn't flashy. It is quite subtle and easy to miss: just a slight shift in the light, an almost imperceptible brightening, and just a hint of color. . . . randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
I took this photograph today, during an afternoon walk at Long Hill Gardens here in Beverly, MA. It was drizzling and the sky was dreary, but it was exciting to see these yellow buds, so I took some photos. I had thought this was forsythia, but the tree is labeled "Witch Hazel". (When I got home, I looked it up, and apparently the two are often confused.) Tonight I used iPhoto to adjust the contrast and crop the photo to get this image. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
This is another image from photos taken during Friday's walk through a neighborhood park. I liked the patterns made by footprints in the snow, and this view was cropped to concentrate only on the linear tracks in the snow. I also created a posterized version of this image, which I plan to post here tomorrow. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
I have been stuck inside with a bad cold, so today was my first walk in a week. The destination was a small neighborhood park. Although the park was empty, the many footprints show that it is well-used for fun in the snow. The dog also seemed to think that it was a great place to run around, if only for a few minutes. I liked the patterns of the tracks in the snow, so I took some pictures. This is one of the original photos, edited just a bit. I also created a posterized version of this scene, which I will post here tomorrow. Julianne Passeri on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
I liked the way the foam from the ocean curled up around the rocks in all different ways to make some cool looking designs. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
Here's another photograph from one more winter walk at Long Hill Gardens, here in Beverly, MA. Scattered throughout the gardens, which was once the Sedgwick estate, are architectural structures: columns, balustrades, pagodas, gates. I often pass by these two free-standing columns during my walks at Long Hill Gardens. But on this particular walk (late afternoon on New Year's Day), I was struck by the way the columns looked against the snow and the backdrop of the trees, so I took a picture. (The inexplicable presence of the columns lends a kind of surreal quality to the scene, like in a Magritte painting or in Last Year at Marienbad!) Tonight I cropped the original photo to get this composition. I also used the retouching tool in iPhoto to get rid of a label on one of the trees. randubnick on Flickr: Posted a Photo 
For the past few weeks, I have been getting ready for my art show, and I have been posting my work for the show here for the past several weeks. But while I was doing all that painting, I continued to take walks, and to take photographs. So now that my art show is hung, I am catching up with recent photos. This one is from a late afternoon walk in early January. I liked the colors in the sky, and the look of the deep snow, still on the branches. Julianne Passeri on Flickr: Posted a Photo

I liked the color blue against all the neutrals. My boyfriend came up with the title for this one... |
