endings...

...and beginnings

foggy daybreak

the calm before the storm

honor, accept...

... and work hard to make the best of things that happen in life!

My son made a turtle in pottery camp last week to honor all turtles hit by cars. In a poignant twist of fate, the turtle exploded in the kiln when firing. This is how he presented it at the gallery show.

what's the story...

The August Break

Over My Head

Yesterday I was over at Susannah's blog and came across her concept of "The August Break". In her words:

"Okay, here’s the plan for the August Break: you simply share one photo (or more!) per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you feel moved to share. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, film or digital – with or without words – anything goes! – for the whole of August. No pressure – just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging."

I'm in! It's not a complete break of connection with my blog (which I don't want), but just a change of tune. A refresher of sorts. And August is the perfect month for it.

So you'll see me here in photos with minimal words then, come September, we'll be back to our *regularly scheduled programming*. :)
