Week 42 - Simplicity

How often do we get caught up in making things complicated, when they could be quite simple? 

Week 41 - Street Photography

I didn't hear about street photography until I stumbled upon a YouTube video about Vivian Maier, a street photographer back in the 1950s. All of her photos must have seemed rather dull at the time, but looking back at them now they are fascinating. I'd like my photos to fascinate someone 50 years from now too.

Week 40 - Walking

I take walks. At least when it's cool enough to do so. I'm sure I could walk when its 90+ degrees, but why would anyone want to? Cooler is better, cold is best. Thankfully the air has turned cold, though these small daisy-looking flowers seemed to survive.

Week 39 - Camping

Camping is something I love to do, especially when it's cold. In fact, if the low temperature doesn't dip into the low 60s I'm not interested.  It's even better when you can share those experiences with friends!

Week 38 - On the streets of the city where I live

I live in San Angelo, TX. I spent the first 7 years here trying to get out. Until the day I realized I didn’t want to leave anymore. As if my soul had decided that this small-to-me town with its terrible allergies and penchant for being hot even in winter, had become home. But it had only become home because of those who I had come to love and who became my people. Now, before sunset, as often as possible, I takes walks on the streets of the city where I live, the city that is now my home. 

Week 37 - The Mountains are calling and I must go...again.

It's been two weeks ago. The air, the aspen trees, the clean water, the cold mornings, it was a dream. A dream that sadly had to end and I had to return the sweltering October heat of San Angelo. The mountains are calling and I must go...again!

Week 36 - The Aspen Tree

The Aspen Tree is by far my favorite tree in the whole wide world, and it doesn't grow where I live. They really only grow above 5000ft...I'm at 1800...so close. I spent an hour just walking under this grove of beautiful Aspen trees when I visited Colorado. The color change was amazing! The sun lit up the autumnal yellow of the leaves and I believed I could just lay there forever!! I love Aspen trees!
