JANUARY 2010

Johannesburg, South Africa

Just before sunset, I walked around the hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa. I was drawn to this Grey Go-away-bird (Corythaixoides concolor), also known as Grey Lourie. I took many photos before it spread it's wings and flew. The late afternoon light created a silhouette of it's full wingspan. The freedom of flight - what a great way to start off 2010!

FEBRUARY - 2010

Brooklyn, NY

In honor of Saint Valentine, I focused on this carved heart in Prospect Park - Brooklyn, NY. I also chose to use black and white (a first for the photo of the month). I thought eliminating color simplified this serene scene.

Spring is here! I found these tulips in the Public Garden in the Boston Common. The swan boats in the background have been an attraction for over 130 years!

JUNE - 2010

Boston, MA

I walked along the Charles River one hot afternoon. I wanted to find a unique angle showing the water, sailboats and the buildings... To get this shot, I stepped on a rock about a foot from the waters edge and practically fell in the river! Totally worth it...

Wayland, MA

I took this photograph at sunset. The golden sunset light shined on the few remaining leaves. The background of bare trees reflecting in the water is a sure sign of winter...

Wellesley, MA

The day after the blizzard of 2010, I grabbed my snowshoes for the first time this season. The trails were fresh with snow at Elm Bank Reservation. I found this tree in front of the frozen Charles River...
