Looking off towards the Hill, across Baxter Boulevard, you see Tukey's Bridge crossing Portland's Back Bay between the Munjoy Hill neighborhood and East Deering. The slate-gray morning sky and iced tree in the foreground looks to fool the mind and eye into thinking that today's a frozen day. It is not; rather mild really for early March. Last evening we took in the Art Walk in the city. After stopping by various galleries that we usually frequent, we headed to the bar Blue(no drinks for me still) to see two friends of E- who had some collages and paintings hanging. Then we jumped in the car and headed up the Hill to visit an artist and her a 5x5 Daily Painting Gallery. That was a full evening for me. Tired!

I love that you are growing more and more active, Birdman. This is a dreamy shot. The snow is getting thin there. Back in Vermont we're still up to our waists in the white stuff. But the temps (so I hear) are mildish here, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Birdman! It was so great to meet you & Ellen last night. :-) Thank you for coming to visit me in my studio. Love your snowy pics--snowscapes have always spoken to me. Enjoy the weekend! :-) Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteLooks quite...and froze! LOl
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely photo! A post card or a poster.
ReplyDeletesnowy warm day today. Which is a contradiction. All sunny and forty degrees.
ReplyDeleteThe kids and me made copious amounts of snowballs while the insistent sun flooded the backyard. We even took off our winter coats for a bit.
Awesome!
And btw-the gallery night sounded so fabulous! ;)
This is a beautifully composed shot - the bench and tree nicely balance each other. Very glad you're getting steadily better and able to go out more, even if it does make you tired.
ReplyDeleteNow this is a beautiful winter composition! Such a peaceful shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat composition here. :) Feels like quiet solitude.
