  • Are You A Being or A Doing?

        On considering the possibility of actual mermaids being discovered, what would be the most interesting thing that we could learn about our kin in the sea?   That they send their kids to the best underwater schools? That they work really hard to get a piece of the treasure that is hidden somewhere…

  • Quiet Evening

        A quick stop at the beach after yoga and there are dolphins gracefully travelling south, while the sun sets over the beach,     and the moon smiles…             St. Augustine Beach, it's good to be home.  

  • Flowers and Friends

        A special day comes and goes. Friends and family pitch in and show up and laugh and dance. Did they chase away the rain too? Maybe. It's possible. Love can do that!         The day before the wedding, "Team B" arranges the flowers.

  • The Hat Sisters and Their Little Cousin, sort of…

                  The nieces and the grandchild.

  • Long Ago

      This little one is now in his 40's!            

  • Smiling Still

        Look at all of those teeth! A little over three months ago this was his wonderful smile…     He's been working hard on those teeth!           One of my very best pal's baby, possibly my grandchild…

  • Something To Smile About…

        Try to look at this and not smile.. Go ahead, I dare you!       For the next few days, there will be some photos of the beautiful children in my life. These three are my adorable nieces!

  • No Regrets

        No egrets. Oh, one egret.   No regrets.   (Mostly.)       Great Egret at sunset.

  • Beckoning

        There's something about a sandbar that beckons you to come out past your comfort zone, to tempt the tide and time, just a little farther, a little longer… all will be well. Promise!     Matanzas River, between the inlet and the fort.

  • Simple Joy

        My favorite fountain in Mt. Vernon Place, probably my favorte fountain in the world!   The cat tails and the turtle and the playful child, all speak to a simple joy.         Mt. Vernon Place, Baltimore, Maryland.
