There is a wedding tradition that involves lifting the bride and groom above the crowd at a wedding celebration. Further, as in Orthodox Custom, they´re not supposed to touch. This photo represents that tradition... and also shows how scary it can be to be hoisted up on a chair, holding on with only one hand,… Continue reading WN ENTRY: Traditions
My favorite corner in my home: Pictures I took during my summer vacation. Photos that transport me to another time and place where relaxation takes precedence over the little things we overthink in our daily lives. A sunset in Nantucket. The most perfect hydrangea I've ever seen. The waves at Nauset Beach. Treasures I relish… Continue reading Daily Something: A little corner of my world
I'm lucky because, you see, I have this constant, little reminder to notice stuff. I live with a toddler who notices the world and points out the wow. Constantly. Walking out the door in the morning: "Venus. Wow. Stars. Wow." Past the Sedum: "Spider. Wow." Every 3 minutes this evening: "Mumpkin Happy. Wow."

After more than two weeks of missing Dad, he… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: finally home.
As I was placing my bags in the backseat of my car, I looked up at the sky. It was a majestic array of colors, almost as heavenly as aurora bourealis. I paused and took a deep breath, feeling the crisp New England Air fill my lungs. Ahhhh, autumn! This is my favorite season because… Continue reading WN Entry: Rhode Island Sunrise
I was inspired by Cloudscome to post some photographs. I want to actually challenge myself to write some poetry about the photographs I took over my long weekend. Perhaps you'll be inspired to use these as poetic inspiration too. I took so many photos of hydrangea this weekend. This is my favorite because you can… Continue reading Poetic Inspiration from Photos
I often have my students bring in photographs of them at special times in their lives in order to help them spark their memory (and write a small moment story.) I discourage them from bringing in posed family portraits since, unless you got into a fist-fight with your little sister before the snapshot at Sears,… Continue reading Strategy: Use photos to tell a story
