The resilient snowdrop

Szczypek got the interest in photography from her dad and in nature from her mom. She chronicles nature, family, events, sometimes meaningful sometimes random. She has lived in Waltham for 29 years. “I love visiting the countryside but love living right in the city,” she says. “I love having a choice where I can walk, bicycle or drive to the supermarket and other places if so desired.” She serves as a steward for the Waltham Land Trust.
