Passionate about stories and images, with a career doing what I love as a freelance reporter and lifestyle writer/photographer. I am able to focus on family while working from my mountain home in the Catskills of New York. To state a time-honored cliche, "If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life."

Day 18 - T A X E S, ☑️ - I didn’t make it outside today, so here is one from the archives. Hidden water is all around us in these hills. This is the time of year I relish every errand, as I never know what corner will present an unexpected capture, a moment I’m so glad I doesn’t miss. Leaving the house once every two weeks to go to the store is surely resulting in some missed photo ops. So I am forced to return to my archives, with hopes I will have more to share than photos of rocks. 📸 Here is something else I never do: share the 1st edit of one verse of a fledgling poem, but what the hell, all bets are off these days. 📸 Water falls, as do our tears. Spring melts, she turns streams to torrents and signals the end of Winter. The mountains wake up sap flows and eagles nest. There is promise in the mud, with green peeking through. Don’t give up on Summer, and she won’t give up on you. 📸 #coronaviruschronicles #nationalpoetrymonth #poemaday #poetryheals #waterfalls #catskillmountains #upstateny #istillloveny #posteveryday #shelterinpoems @poemsorg

Day 17 - T E A T O T H E R E S C U E - And pumpkin bread too. ☕️ Steam and chamomile My favorite mug beckons Anxiety drowns ☕️ A return to the simple things, like baking to warm the house, like blending herbs to warm my soul, like writing a haiku to end the day. (The above blend is whole chamomile flowers, vanilla rooibos and a pinch of senna.) ☕️ #coronaviruschronicles #nationalpoetrymonth #poemaday #poetryheals #todayshaiku #keepcalmanddrinktea #catskillmountains #istillloveny #posteveryday #ShelterInPoems @poemsorg

National Poetry Month is NOT Cancelled - “April 1st is not a day for fools, or fishing. For me, it is the day that kicks off one of my favorite times of the year: an entire month dedicated to poetry. Often, I find myself writing new or editing older works, reading these works at an open mic or literary festival, and participating in local events that highlight Poetry” ☀️ And so begins the latest blog, full version found at link above. Here is today’s poem: ☀️ Layover at Penn Station — I ate lunch in the sun, just beyond the shadow of two Great Ladies: The Empire State Building and the upturned chin of a Lady Gaga Comes To Vegas billboard. I feel better now, I am in New York. — Leaving dark caves of tunnels and trains, the Unforgiving Underground. Like a miner returning home to fields and family smiles, I know in a little while I will be greeted by the Hudson and her companion, The Catskill Mountains. — And though I hail from Charm City, just below the Mason Dixon - these hills are my home. This is where my true love lives. where a fire waits to warm my toes and my daughter greets with a screaming hello. — Where the long awaited sun eventually shines on my maple covered backyard. Where the coyotes sing me back towards the wild. Where the shaded streams gleam and music actually means something. ☀️ © Rebecca Andre ☀️ Image credit, Poets.org: The official April 2020 National Poetry Month poster features the artwork of Samantha Aikman, winner of this year's National Poetry Month Poster Contest for Students. Aikman's design was selected by judges Alison Bechdel, renowned cartoonist, and former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera. It features the following line from the poem "Remember" by current U.S. Poet Laureate, Joy Harjo: “Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.” ☀️ #coronaviruschronicles #nationalpoetrymonth #poemaday #poetryheals #theunessentialphotographer #laughdontcry #catskillmountains #istillloveny #posteveryday #ShelterInPoems @poetsorg
