I have been busy selecting just the right photographs for a book to give to a friend of my mom's. Jo is battling cancer and lives in Vermont in the same complex that my mother lives in, she was born in Massachusetts and misses it so much. We always have a great chat about where she was born and when she talks about Massachusetts her eyes light up. She is unable to travel now, so I thought I would design something special for her. I selected some of my favorite photographs that I have taken over the last few years, and used Blurb as the publisher. They do a great job.
After finishing the final book this morning, and having it shipped to my mother to give to Jo, I thought I would make it available to others. My Massachusetts is simply a book of photographs. I never get tired of seeing images of this wonderful State. The book measures 7 x 7 square and is 80 pages long. It is available in soft cover, hard cover and Image wrap versions. You can click on the image on the sidebar to preview the book.
Please say a prayer for Jo.
I hope your day is a lovely one...
