Christmas past

It's a time of innocence and wonder. We all grow up too fast!

Merry Christmas everyone.

A Gift

These amaryllis are so beautiful.

 I have them in front of the mirror so we can see them from all angles.

It's a life's lesson looking at our views.  I'm in the process of studying change 101. This tidal vignette was underwater by the end of my photo shoot. I'm learning that change is very subtle and sneaky but inevitable. And it's even necessary in order to appreciate the moment.

OK it's official

After 30 years in our home, where we brought up our boys who are now fathers,we have turned it over to new owners. Hopefully they will bring up their children in the house that loved us. Hopefully they will wander the halls with dreams of their own, will play in the yard and swim in the pool. Hopefully they will feed the birds and create stories of their own in the gardens I loved. Hopefully all the good that is in the core of that house will seep it's way into their lives. I wish them well.

Tully on the other hand went kicking and barking. She had to make friends with her reflection in the floor to ceiling windows that seemed to follow her everywhere. Once that was accomplished she has found a sunny spot in the front hall where she watches her new world go by. She loves the new wet walks on the sandy shell filled beach and chasing the shorebirds. She now sleeps closer to us at night but I think that will pass once she gets braver in her new world.

And our new world looks beautiful to us. We are happy here. We can finally call this place our home.

through the looking glass

The view changes everyday and today the rain has in control of our world.

Rain and wind and more rain. 

 The bay has ruled over the shoreline. 

And I in my perch am witnessing it all.

passing through

An afternoon storm was moving through. The day was dreary and grey but when the sun peaked behind the cloud for just a moment I was there to feel the warmth and witness it's potential.
