I was caught off guard by the light.

...

Last Friday

...

A thought occurred to me. Get your camera.

The light was neither perfect or imperfect. It was fleeting.

I would suspend my task (spicy sardine sauce) for the moment.

...

Giving Thanks

...

I keep typing and deleting. The weight of the words aren't matching the full breath of what I'm feeling.

You stop by. You read. You comment. You take a moment. For me. For this blog.

Thank you.

    The thing I love most about your blog (and there are lots of things) is the lack of need for words, your photos often say it all, (or say a bit and the rest can be filled in with a bit of imagination), but those words you do say are so very wonderful.

    Thank you for being part of this community and for being authentically you, not what you think people want you to be, on your blog.

    Kath - I try to keep things simple. I appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot :)

    Wendi - You inspire me. Talk about authentic! :)

    Amelia - I feel like that's when things are at their best for me, when they're not planned. I've been pretty low-tech here, but I'll see what I can find out about subscriptions by email. Thanks for bringing that to my attention :)

    elisabelle - It was delicious. I realized some are turned off by tinned fish, but we simply love the stuff :)

    Denise - I knew you would :)

    This blog is an oasis for me. I tend to get anxious. Reading this blog feels like taking a deep, calming breath.

    So . . . no, no, thank you.

    Tracy: I am listening to that simple self too, more and more.
    for email subscriptions -> I am not very high tech myself... but I use feedburner (I feel like many of my friends prefer the email version)
