  • Ended (Dark Side Thursday)

    For Andy Townend’s Dark Side Thursday. Andy has provided an outlet for our dark sides. I wrote this a few weeks ago (on a plane, of course!) but I thought it was too dark to share. I haven’t ever written anything like it. I would usually put this summary at the bottom of my post…

  • Momentarily Thoughtful

      The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.. – Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist)   When I think about a moment, I always think of something good.

  • Amsterdam – A Different View

    Amsterdam – A Different View

    You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

  • Hang Out

    Why doesn’t anyone notice me? I’ve been hanging around here for six years! Nobody even sees me. I am invisible? Does anyone even care? Just wait… Soon… My time will come. I will show them. Soon. They’ll regret just passing me by. Soon. I can feel my time is coming. Soon. Soon…. OR She considered…

    Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)

    I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…

    Looking at the sign While the spelling is not right The sentiment is… A cute little sign on a door in a cafe in Amsterdam. It was so sweet. So was the carrot cake – yum! ….. I have been nominated by Pommepal at Gypsy Life to post 5 photos over 5 days, with accompanying stories/musings/notes and…

  • Momentarily Terrified

    There’s a constant drone in an airplane. If you remove your headphones, you can listen to it. But inevitably you will stop hearing it. Until there’s a change in the frequency, the timbre of the sound. Then there’s that feeling in your tummy. Why did the sound change? You steal a few furtive glances at the…

  • A Little Flower

    Amsterdam City in Living Colour

    I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…
