    Love what you did with this image! Newbury? surely not Newbury, Vermont? My Nana lived in Newbury for the last 20+ years of her life. Peaceful town.

    I am just loving the editing you've been doing lately! This particular one evokes memories of a bygone era, not quite in focus in our contemporary world.

      As much as I would like to take credit for the talent I have to tell you that my work is not actual painting but photography with textures and different apps applied. I think of it as art but not quite a painting.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Shining through the branches of a big old pine tree

  When Joe comes home from working nights he flops his cap down on the kitchen table. It is an Irish sculls cap and when he wears it with his mask at work they say he  looks like a Southie (Irish part of Boston) bank robber. I just like the way it looks on my kitchen table and I’m glad he’s not a bank robber.  My sister had to get some scans in Boston and spent the week at my mums.  I had them up for dinner one night. This isn’t the greatest picture of her...I think I caught her in mid-chew. Sunday I met with both of my daughters and my grandchildren. We were the only ones in the pizza place and felt comfortable taking our masks off while we ate. It was the first time we’ve all been together in such a very long time. It brought me to tears.  I rise before the sun most mornings and see it coming up over the neighboring houses like ribbons of orange and indigo light.
