My friend and book-making partner Ellen Harasimowicz, took this photo last Friday night in Rhode Island. We had ventured to the southern part of that state to join local FrogWatchers as they listened for and recorded frog calls. The warm glow in the photo perfectly matched my feelings about the trip–my last into the field for this particular book–and the setting sun was appropriate, too.
Alas, the sun rose again on Saturday … and I began the next phase of the process: wrestling my citizen science research into the shape of a book. In reality, I’ve been drafting for a couple weeks now; somehow it all feels more official today.
In other news, proper summertime weather has arrived in central Massachusetts. Hallelujah! Hope it is sunny and bright where you live, too.
