Trustees of the Reservations: Hamlin Reservation, Ipswich, MA. February 13, 2012. Afternoon.

I spotted this trail coming back from Crane's Beach. Did a little research and headed back out that way a few weeks later to walk to the trail. It's a short loop, and perfect for two small ones walking. A meadow leads to a causeway which takes you to a small island-hill surrounded by marsh. Folks seem to have fun building with all the brush on the island. We found a teepee and giant man-made bird's nest. On our way out, we had a little too much fun playing with cattail fluff.

It was a beautiful day, and a very manageable walk for an adult with two kids.

Trustee's of the Reservations: Crane's Beach, Ipswich, MA. January 31, 2012. Late afternoon.

In the fifties, no wind, on one of the most beautiful beaches in Massachusetts. With my family. Absolutely perfect.

With great fortune, it seems, we met a lovely woman riding her horse in the ocean that afternoon. It was just so gorgeous to see and photograph.

I can't wait to spend my summers here.

Holy Whoa

Thank you, Jess. This is so worth it.

These winter days are inside days. Long, boring days. But also sweet. And sort of stressful. I'm trying to get us through, feeling like, wanting, something to happen.

When you see a woman, riding her horse in the ocean, at sunset, you better be willing to get wet to get the photo. Dear God, I feel so lucky to have captured this.

Sweet Lord! I have found a new yoga practice and teacher and I am happy, happy, happy (and a little sore). By far one of the most important things in my life is to practice yoga. It's up there in priorities, just from being away from it for three months, I know in my core I must practice. And now my practice has a home.
