A little bored at soccer practice, I felt the call of the sun peaking through the leaves….The temps were dipping below 60, and that certain chill in the early autumn air was unmistakable. What I saw when I looked through the lens was that ever-battle between the seasons and the sun. Yet, despite the sun’s…

My younger children attended a neighbor’s birthday party this weekend at a local farm called North Run. Beautiful place. Each year, they do a corn maze that is in the image of something rather extraordinary.

It was six months ago tonight that I checked Facebook one last time before going to sleep, and my heart just collapsed as I read the status updates: RIP Casey, Casey I ❤ U, Miss U Casey, among others. I started texting friends, then making calls, then realizing that this world just lost a most…

photo: http://alittlecrafty.com I’ve always been fascinated with Chinese characters, and the symbol for Tranquility is one that means a great deal to me.
