Street Signs & Close-ups

I think this might possibly be the funniest stop sign location ever. Every time I see it I want to say "Really? You think?!" The scary part is this residential road is not lit at night so if you approach this sign in the dark you truly cannot see the river beyond, it just looks like a continuation of the road. You could easily drive right in without even realizing your error. I always thought a barrier of some kind might be a better idea. The sign seems a bit understated.

A beautiful day to be out boating, Orzo and I were enjoy the last bits of summer sun on this lovely fall day.

stressed & shallow

I really couldn't figure out anything that I wanted to do for "stressed." Not because I don't have any, but because... I didn't know how to photograph it. This attempt may not mean much, but I "saw" it just before I went to bed last night. I did one of those "squeeze your head" things to the clock (please tell me you remember that from Saturday Night Live a million years ago). It triggered some sense of "11th hour." So... here's... stress....

And this one is just an extra. The sun came out after a light drizzle...

interior rooms

I have created a space inside my home to begin seeing clients. What isn't seen in this shot is the massage table (not because it's out of the frame, but because I don't have it yet!). Though it might not look like much, I hope it is a space that folks will feel safe to begin their process of healing.

shallow depth of field

Enjoyed catching the late light this evening and decided to not wait till Wed to post. Completely bagging the "one shot" approach I took 10 or 15... hope I'm not boring you with these 3. They're not varied that much, but I liked each of them. This is one of the twice bloomin' lilacs in my yard. Never saw them bloom twice on the East coast.

moving forward

Moses and I walked the labyrinth at St. Mary's Episcopal Church on Sunday. We were the only ones there and spent an hour meandering the path, sitting in the center meditating, and taking pictures within the sacred space.

more totems

A rather tattered Morning Cloak - visited me three times today.
