So much of my work has been inspired by, based on, drawn from, New England---the New England I grew up in, and also lived in for many years as an adult.
The landscapes and life-styles...
... the details of the smallest flowers, fruits, and seeds...
...the inhabitants, large and small---all are part of my very core essence.
After many years living in the Southwest, with very few excursions back to New England, it is time for me to return to my roots for an extended visit. And though much has changed---there, and in the world at large---I hope to find that some of the old landscape, some of the old creature friends of my childhood, some of the old life there, exists still.
New England, here I come!
New England scenes are one reason your Father Fox's Pennyrhymes are so dear to my heart!
ReplyDeleteYes, landscape and place seem to be big sources of inspiration for me.
DeleteYippee-Yi-Yay! I have alerted all of our VT & NH creatures & they are so-o-oo excited!! As am I!
ReplyDeleteI am expecting a welcoming party of mice, squirrels, woodchucks, crows, blue jays, and perhaps a bear or two!
ReplyDeleteNew England awaits your return with eager anticipation. We're cleaning our faces with our paws and brushing out our fine fur coats.
ReplyDeleteWe must have a kitty-congress when I've arrived...
DeleteEnjoy the journey and the critters you encounter when you arrive!
ReplyDeleteSo far have been hearing robins, red-wing blackbirds, and other birds...
