the quiet calm...


I continue to sit in stillness.  
The world is slow and the soft light of winter envelopes me.
I am in the quiet calm of my "break" but tiny sparks are starting to go off somewhere inside me, thoughts and ideas begging to be shared.
I'll be back soon.
I think.


Because there are always a few questions about the images I post - I've shared this one before but I love it so I come back to it time and time again.  Took it in Ireland back in the 1980's.

and my heart leaps...

We are off to visit the daughter as she winds down her stint in Washington D.C.  This is a photo I took of her about 20 years ago now.  The film (remember film?) was infrared which gives it that surreal quality and the words are from part of a Helen Reddy song (I'm a big fan of HR).  A special song we've had between us for a long time.


I'll be out for just a bit and will catch up with in September!
Be safe and Be happy.

she read, she saw...

This is my weekly Friday feature. I send my daughter, who is living in Seattle while she is in school, a photograph I've taken and she sends me back a quote she feels goes with it. So the image is something I photographed that touched me and the words are something she read that touched her. Hopefully, both pieces will be a bit more inspiring as a result...


"I see knowledge increasing and human power increasing. I see ever increasing possibilities before life, and I see no limits set to it at all. Existence impresses me as a perpetual dawn. Our lives, as I apprehend, are great in expectations." -H.G. Wells


Side note: When she first sent the quote back I quickly replied "didn't I send you a photo of a bicycle?"  Her response, after a ha ha, was yes and that was the quote that first came to her mind.  She offered another but I like how what I think of when I look at the image is very different than what she thinks of so I'm leaving it.  What does it make you think of?
I don't blog on the weekends so here's hoping you have a great one and I'll see you on the flipside.
