Reflections with friends…

 

On Saturday the 20th, Kathy and Tracy joined me on an adventure to downtown Phoenix.  We rode the light rail ( a first for me) and had a wonderful time walking around downtown, taking pictures and visiting. You can see the most amazing things and people while strolling along.

I took some reflection shots that I especially liked and I want to share a few of them with you.

I am absolutely not good with building names or any of the history behind them.  Kathy is the expert on all those matters. She really is a well-spring of truly interesting facts.

It’s amazing I didn’t trip and fall because I was looking up so much of the time…well, there was this one time that if it hadn’t been a light post that I backed into, I would have fallen flat on my behind.

This one is a favorite and was inspired by a shot that Tracy was taking of a long line of taxis waiting for…heck, I don’t know what.

Look, I’m not nearly as talented as these two with post production tweeking so the best I could do to “disguise” them was to add a sepia tint.  So they’ll have to forgive me for breaking that cardinal rule about not posting shots of each other. :) 

I always have such fun when we all get together and I do have lots of photos to post from this trip and then another one that Tracy joined me on…but it’s having the time to get the post on the computer. I’ll do better.  Things are beginning to level off at work and I’m learning how to use my down time more wisely. 

Now, I need to remind both Tracy and Kathy about something we have planned (Kathy’s idea) to do together on the 8th of November.  Okay, Girls, don’t forget.

                           warts and all???

I miss you guys!  I have a down day today and I’m playing with some pictures I took yesterday on a fantastic outing I had with Tracy and Ramblin’ Kathy.  I keep checking in with all of you whenever I can and leaving comments when I’m able.

But I just needed to let you know how much your blogs mean to me and how  much I value the friendships I’ve made during this whole blogging process.  I look at the world differently now and I know it’s because of all of you.  THANK YOU!!!

Bowing under the weight…

of that which sustains me.

I need to take a sabbatical and pull things back together.  Life is good!!  This is nothing bad, but I have so much happening right now that I need to step away from my blog for a time.  I will check in with all of you whenever I can and you should know that you bring me great joy with all your wonderful pictures and words.

I just can’t see the forest for the trees right now and I need to regroup.  Get my life sorted out and back on track.  Do you think I can come up with any more clichés?

There is a bright spot at the end of the tunnel and I will see you again soon.  Don’t you just love the sun hitting the oak leaves that have already turned and bring the promise of things to come.

As someone once said - “I’ll be back.”
