“Welcome To The Party!” My dad lives in the first town in the first state. Needless to say, history abounds. I love to walk through the old churchyards and read the markers on the graves. I took several shots of interesting headstones today, but when all was said and done I liked this one best. I think this is because the shallow DOF and bokeh make it look like there is confetti falling, like there is a big party going…
“40 Years In The Garden” This photo is of a statue in my dad’s garden, which was my grandparents’ garden. I have been looking at it for over 40 years. I was really too tired to carefully think through the photograph, but I learned several things from this photo. 1. Check your camera settings.

“Late April Shower” This has been a __________ week. I’m not even sure what word or words to put in that blank; and frankly, it is probably better that I don’t try to figure it out.

Our flights were not conducive to nourishment. Our first flight departed at 5:15 am. None of the vendors in the airport were open yet. We connected through Charlotte, a 2.5 hour flight. Food is only available (for purchase) on flights that are three…

“My Heart Is The Moon” There is no wind strong enough to blow away your footprints from my heart. May you rest in peace and rise in glory, my dear friend.
“Looking Outward”
“School Buddy” It seems that for most of my life that I have been on the quest for the perfect purse. Well, maybe not my entire life – just since I had to start carrying a purse and we all know when that was. And still, at 51, I have yet to find the perfect purse. Today I had an epiphany and realized why that is. As I mentioned a few days ago, school has been a part of…
