Playing in Yesteryear ...

I took this photo a few Summers ago while visiting Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I was looking through some pictures I took and thought myself - What would this photo look like changed into an "Old Time Photo" ... So here it is. The paper looks a bit crinkled, the off-white sepia tones etc ... If you have not realized, I love an "Old World" feel to many things - So much history, so much meaning etc ... Does it look like it could have been in a newspaper long ago?

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
