Last night, here in the Berkshires, the wind howled like no one’s business. Frankly it was almost scary. It felt great to hunker down in the bed with my nightly reading materials. I was amazed that my house was not shaking. Having stood the test of time since c. 1810, those ol’ post and beams have seen it all, I guess.

Its very cold here today, and the color palette remains lacking, or better put, positively half full, but limited. Gray, brown, white. Stiff neck drinking in the gift of blue sky today. It’s crazy how the eyes almost atrophy from the lack of color.

I showed yoga teacher Karen some 8×10′s from the region yesterday. She remarked as many have, how wonderful the images are. Incredible subjects inspire, would be my guess.

What I notice is the fact that there is such a richness in tone and color- such a saturation. I look at them and feel nourished- like the blood orange I just ate- ping of color, zest of excitement. Its almost time to go back, to get my eyes moving again. to build that head of steam, to suck in every nuance of the landscape. Its been really great to have these photos to infuse me these wintery months.Being mindful of when and where I took them, cements the imagery and the feelings.

Soon I will again return and reawake with the overflow of spring invention. I will commit these to pixels while walking with Slaine.

I can hardly wait.Taking photographs completely relaxes me. Very much like meditation. Everything in me changes as I focus in. Colorful nourishment.

With so many people remarking that I should make these images available for sale, I am working on just that. If you would be interested in purchasing them, a way to set your intentions for coming and experiencing for yourself, please do send an email to: info@metavacances.com . They will be nominally priced, with the intent of sharing an intention. I think if you look at them enough, you too will soon be sitting in this wondrous landscape. Just have to get the web program functioning. Please be patient and let me know your thoughts.
