Up, Hopefully
Sorry for the silence (again). (How many posts have I started with that?) (Don’t look, I don’t want to know.)
Things have been hectic. Buried at work, feeling sort of lost outside of work. Not been fun. But this morning I looked up as we were leaving one of our school’s fall festivals and thought this looked a little like I felt – cloudy, but I know the blue sky is up there. Just need to get back to it.

Homeward, Geometrically
There are photos I see and make. And then there I things I see that are not photos. At least, not yet. They will be. Okay, they may be … I just keep trying on this one.

Soft and Pointy
We took a short trip to camp up in South Carolina. Beautiful site, right on the water. I could have sat there for a week with a book in my lap and my eyes closed to the world.
Maybe I will …

Colored Tears
Silence may be golden, but it can also be indicative of disease and pestilence. Just saying.
I am back from some short trips and healthy again, which is a nice feeling. You don’t realize what a treasure balance is until it’s gone, you know?
Sitting in my brother and sister-in-laws kitchen in Massachusetts a few weekends ago, the rain was as light as the foliage change.
