Sometimes, it takes the observations of a special visitor to open our own eyes to what is so special about where we live. I mean, sure, as New Englanders, we know that we have some of the most beautiful coast line in the United States. And, we are especially noted for our splashy autumn foliage displays! But, who would’ve thought to be so enthralled over our cemeteries, or our recent display of various mushrooms, or our small but curious critters, and so on?!
If you want to see through the eyes of that special visitor, an Oklahoman who calls her blog “Drawing The Motmot,” then you must read a New England Love Letter, part 1 and part 2!
Thank you, Motmot, and please come back soon!




Thank you, Janet! What a sweet post. I’m now totally verklempt…you live in a wondrous place, indeed. I’ll be back someday, hopefully before too long. I’m definitely a fan!
Her blog is a joy.
I wouldn’t mind some more of your great work either.
Come back soon, Janet.
zeladoniac, I’ve just so enjoyed reading your impressions of New England and viewing your sketches all summer long. I’m so glad we’ve turned you into a fan!
wrjones, Thank you for your kind comments and your great sense of timing! I’ve had what seems like a never ending head cold … your words were just what the doctor ordered!
