Okay.  Not really there yet.  But close.  Real close. First of all, this is the self portrait I favored.  Not so white now, are they??? In the mountains of Colorado, we ran into this. And M shot this.  Then we … Continue reading →

It is the last gasp of summer.  How odd.  How short.  And my eye is kinda twitchin’.  We are once again, or maybe for the first real time, empty nesters; M went off to college this morning.  Right after he … Continue reading →

~o:> In the hood

Posted on July 31, 2010 by K

Just a few images. My long-time neighbor and good, good friend, Jeri.  She keeps chickens and rides a Harley.  And watches over me. Hard core Harley girl. I tell her horses are better. She laughs. Some terrible shots of some … Continue reading →

~o:> what I really do with my time

Posted on July 22, 2010 by K
