    Watching the Sunset

    Sharing a Moment Together
    Sharing a Moment Together

    A moment of anger can destroy a lifetime of work,
    whereas a moment of love can break barriers that took a lifetime to build.

    This morning is overcast and cloudy. One of those solid and flat gray skies with very little texture. The temperature is around 60 degrees so it is pleasant to be outside, walking or riding the bicycle.

    I leave a week from today for 6 weeks. Will camp one night at Great Sand Dunes NP and and one night at Canyon Dechelly then on to Phoenix to spend the rest of the time with family.

    The Window

    “Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn’t matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.”

    You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut. Dr. Suess

    Yes, I’m a morning person. But, I have three children and four grandchildren who are not. Their loss.

    Early Departure

    Morning Shadows in my Window
    Morning Shadows in my Window

    My sister and I head for the Texas Panhandle for a funeral this morning. My mothers youngest sister suffered a series of seizures, causing her to take a fall and add bodily injuries. As usual things like this do bring families together, share hugs and our loss. We will also, make promises to see each other more often. If only we would. So, I will not be on line for a while.

    Heading South

    Rain, sleet and snow
    Rain, sleet and snow

    I am heading south to Phoenix for a visit with family and some warmer weather. I’ll spend some time with my sister and brother-in-law and some time with my parents. I was hoping for some nice weather so I could go barefoot and get away from the cold here but they are expecting temperatures on Thanksgiving day to be right around freezing. Be back in two weeks unless the family gets tired of me. 🙂

    Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures. – Don McCullin
