It has been a while since I sat down seriously in the studio. Know what, I missed it, even though I spent a lot of time taking pictures and capturing scenes I know will end up on a canvas.
There is a great sense of accomplishment, holding a pencil or a brush making lines or strokes and the final outcome is an image for others to appreciate. I am inspired, here goes!

Hawk With Prey
It is a beautiful day, I saw a gorgeous bird enjoying its meal and it allowed me to take these shots. I love hawks, eagles birds of prey, they are so lovely to look at and majestic. I tried getting a shot in flight but, it was too busy enjoying its meal.

Beach Picnic Class Reunion
The year 1981, the Raiders won the Superbowl, the Boston Celtics were the NBA Champion and I graduated Kolbe Cathedral High school. Well…..I did not march in the ceremony due some chocolate incident. Needless to say it has been 31 years since I left Bridgeport CT without looking back. I passed by to NY, MD but never visited.
I had the great pleasure this past weekend to revisit, there was a Beach Picnic Class Reunion. It was the beach, I could not pass that up, I have a love affair with the ocean, river or lake.
I had not seen any of my class mates over 30 yrs, and I was excited and nervous. I was the quiet one, always in the back and never got involved in much. I was a transfer student from Jamaica in 1979 and it took while for me to get adjusted. By the time I was getting up to speed it was graduation.

Relaxing Place After Work
I just sat here relaxed, listened to the fall and watched the ducks. I love the sound of the water fall.

Fort Hill Park
Things don’t always go according to plan…so adjust. My daughter told me I am weird, because I just went to the park and sat there by myself. Honestly, I enjoy those moments. No one bothers me, and I just sit observing, clearing my head.
I love this location on Rogers Street in Lowell, even though it is on a busy stretch of road, there is a sense of calm just sitting there.
There were others while I was there but I just sat there and enjoyed the view. Then the smell of rain and sounds of thunder urged me to move on. I could not leave before one last shot of the hovering rain clouds.
