One of these things is a bad sign
Well, that’s a bad sign. And, no, this is not an old abandoned playground. This playground is used by children every day.
This is at the children’s playground at Seward Park in Seattle.
Bird nest with a guardian angel
This bird found the perfect place to build her nest – complete with guardian angel.
I took this picture a few years ago. The piece I referred to as a guardian angel is one of the terracotta figures that adorn the front of the Suzzallo Library at the University of Washington. It is a stunning work of architecture.
The Reading Room inside the library is also worth a look. It’s one of my favorite places to take a quiet moment and goes by the nickname, the Harry Potter Room.
My flower child
My flower child: even in the rain, she stops to smell the roses
Sometimes I look at her and my heart explodes
I’m 1877 days into this parenting gig, and I still don’t know what I’m doing. I suspect that is probably a good sign. I hope it is, anyway.
I’m so blessed that I get to spend my days with this little ray of light, and guide her as she grows.
Happy Mother’s Day. Here’s to the moms, and to everyone else who challenges and guides and comforts us as we continue to grow and evolve. And here’s to our charges, who bring light and hope and joy.
Earth Day
It’s easy to get jaded about the state of the world, and what humans are doing to it: pollution, war, greed, disregard… but there is so much more that’s good about our world.
Sometimes, we just need to step outside to refresh, and reset our perspectives.

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

Nature gives me hope
Kids give me hope
“seems to me, it ain’t the world that’s so bad, but what we’re doin’ to it”
~ Louis Armstrong
Love, Baby, Love… Yeah….
I hope you can take a moment and get outside to enjoy the beauty and magic.
Happy Earth Day
