  • Expanded River

     Flooding reflections…taken early this morning. I love the colors early in the morning…or perhaps, the lack thereof. The 'sides' are melting, and there is a rock solid base in the middle….My favorite photograph spot this Spring. Here is what our… Continue reading

  • On the Fault Line.

    My mother turned 80 today, or so I was told.  I have lost track of her age, as well of her life.  She seems a mirage out on the far horizon, behind me…detached from daily emotions. But, I do know,… Continue reading

  • Life on the river…

    Signs of Spring are everywhere.   My son's truck…unable to resist mud puddles.  He is one of the many who are excited to see all the water over the road. Traffic was very high along the river yesterday. And, there… Continue reading

  • Please themselves.

    Here is another interesting piece from Brene Brown on Perfectionism. "PS – Shame and perfectionism aren't related, are they?" "I emailed her back and explained the relationship between shame and perfectionism: Where perfectionism exists, shame is always lurking.  In fact,… Continue reading
