| I will be on vacation the next week and a half or so. I was invited to travel with friends to a remote little island near St. Maarten in the British West Indies. Anguilla, for those of you who have been reading for a while, it is the same place I visited in January of 2008. I'm looking forward to being on the beach, diving for starfish and picking up seashells. I don't believe I'll be able to visit your pages, or blog while I'm there. Forgive me my absence, I will do my best to catch up when I get back. Be well.....

| I have been home sick for the past two days. I've seen too many episodes and spent too many hours watching "Top Chef" on Bravo. So much now that I have fooled myself into thinking... "hell, I can do that." |

I came across this: www.ashesandsnow.org
Some of the most amazing images.... I hope you enjoy.

She flirted with me from afar as the brightly colored leaves flickered sunlight upon her gown.
Without saying a word I approached her but her shy eyes never met mine. |

| Tonight, well very very early this morning, say about 4 a.m. I lay in bed trying to convince myself that I wasn't hungry. I wasn't hungry because there wasn't anything in the house that I cared to eat and I really didn't want to have to get dressed and go out into the cold to get anything that would satisfy. Well, the insistent stomach that I have told me I'd never be able to get back to sleep if I didn't in fact eat something.
What I decided I wanted I didn't have, so I pulled on yesterdays jeans and a wrinkled shirt. ( what do you want? I'm not going to pull out the clothing iron, it's 4 a.m.) I headed off to get breakfast cereal, a Special K generic that I rather enjoy. So I get home with the new box on the counter and a freshly opened milk container.
Well, it's about this time that my twelve year old self asks "Do you think you could eat this entire 12 oz box all in one setting"? Some how I had just let my childhood brain challenge the adult. It must be the lack of sleep the past few nights.
It is now 5:39 a.m. There is an empty box and half a gallon or so less milk. It's no wonder I'm having trouble sleeping. My lack of blogging lately isn't due to being lazy. I recently ran another 5K. I went to photograph a Fox Hunt complete with hound dogs and joined a racquetball league. I have enjoyed a day of selling my photos in the near by park, and I am preparing to do so again this weekend. This time it will be in our city's art gallery in conjunction with the annual "Fall Color Tour" of the county. Well, since I'm no longer hungry I think I will try to get some sleep. For the record: I may have exaggerated a little for dramatic effect. I actually only ate one bowl of cereal, not the whole box. Thus disappointing my twelve year old self. |
