I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau
Today I visited Walden Pond for and after my shoot here in MA. It is a shame the home is not in its original spot, but from the water picture below, you can see where it once stood. Thoreau would take a long walk to the Alcott's home for Sunday dinner with Emerson. So cool.
above, yours truly... with choir hands and cell phone butt. look at that poor tree behind --they had quite the flood.
Beautiful. I would love to go there.
ReplyDeleteYou look great with a cell phone butt!
I'm so glad you posted this! I've been reading Thoreau and Emerson this semester and have been thinking a lot about getting more in tune with nature. It is so cool to see photos of Walden Pond! :)
ReplyDeleteEven with living so close to such a historical place, I still haven't been there - it looks magical!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Visiting SF for 2 weeks in August; we should finally meet! :)
How charming!

ReplyDeleteToday was a nice Boston day (I live in Lexington not far from Walden Pond). Enjoy your time in New England!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I visited the US, I went to Walden. I love it there.

ReplyDeleteahhh, I've always wanted to go. it is a shame the house isn't in it's original spot. can you just imagine the conversations that occurred here?
ReplyDeleteOh, the way you describe yourself in this photo...choir hands and cell phone butt. You just took it to a whole new level. Made me giggle.
