Nature changes her finery

It was my editor's idea: Photograph the same scene in four seasons. I chose Cat Rock Park in Weston, Mass. I liked the combination of evergreen and deciduous trees, and the reflective potential of the pond.

I jotted notes about my shooting spot and brought along prints of previous photos to line up the next one. In autumn, I marveled at the painterly reflections. In winter I danced around to keep warm. Elusive spring required multiple visits. Summer's challenge was finding a morning without rain.

Today is the fall equinox (Latin for 'equal night'), when day and night are of equal length in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
