The pedestrian walkway was almost deserted after the Atlanta Braves – San Diego Padres ballgame 2 wks ago. How cool to walk from our hotel, over a 10 lane highway, and to the ball park. Easy Peasy!

Frank Talk

I’ve been spending alot of time with retired military vets while visiting my parents. Hearing these guys talk about the challenges of aging and caring for aging loved ones was sobering. They were also full of gratitude and that was inspiring.

Strong But Fading

These daffodils have been confused by the weather. Temperatures far too warm caused them to bloom too soon. Then they were beaten down by the rain, buffeted by the wind, and chilled by the snow, yet still they brought beauty to our home.

Shooting the Photographer

I am out of town, helping to care for my father who has been in hospital. This image was taken of me by a friend a few weeks ago. Even thought it is not my work, I thought I’d share it since I’ve not been able to do any shooting. I mean, how often does the photographer get photographed?
