....and he rescued me

there is times when i feel overwhelmed and all i want is for him to hurry home. i pick him up from the train but i can't say anything, i can't tell him how much i missed him all day, i can't tell him how i love him, i say nothing at all. we get home and instead of me being cheerful i am a bit melancholy, don't really know why and slowly a tear falls and just when i feel a whole rush of them he says "you want to go for a walk with the dogs and your camera" and all i can do is nod. while the waves hit the edge, the dogs run and my lens zooms in- my heart fills up again and he captures it.

gris

I had been craving a gray misty day. Sunday i got one. it is amazing how the light form each window is different, how the subtle changes in the sky gives me just the gray's i need.

living in color

I am happy to be home- this would shock people who know me well. I have always been the type who needed to be somewhere else, i loved adventures, challenges newness was important. standing still was foreign. now that i am about to embark on a large journey, keeping me away from home for months. I find myself saying " i am happy to be home" i love the color around me, the objects i collected the old tattered rugs that the dogs have embraced, the way that one color meets another. I think this is the cold feet i so often heard about..so i know it is temporary and soon i will have my lungs filled with clean air and my camera shooting things it has never seen and my pen(keyboard) telling the tales.

vintage thursday's! weekend getaway

Oh how i would like to pull things out of the summer wardrobe and put them in a tiny suitcase. I would run out the front door and you would open the door to your vintage car. Would we be headed for the hills, or the seaside? oH i think i would be fine with either as long as i could wear my pretty dress and feel the air in my hair...

gosh how sweet this is


cream mary janes

Take your fears out of the drawer!

I watched a movie recently " milk" starring my future husband in heaven sean penn. in it his character harvey gets a life thretening drawing. He takes it and puts it on his fridge, his partner asked him "why" and his reply " if we put what we fear in a drawer it will grow bigger bigger..." that phrase stuck with me. So the other day i decided to put a few things i feared on my fridge and i invite you to do the same, you can send me photo and i will post it, of course anonymously if you wish. then i will put it on a postcard and hang it outside till the writing fades and then i will notify you when it has so you can fear it no longer...silly maybe but why not. The other day i got to play in a flower shop i adore, i will post all about it soon, but the more surprisingly thing about it is, i asked the owner(who i had once feared) if i could and his reply was "sure i have nothing to loose" my sentiments exactly!

fruit

life begins to bare fruit! many changes are taking place some very big ones..

because my love for it grows

tender moments are exchanged from one family member to the other, a daughter to a mother, a mother to a daughter. a recollection of a childhood memory shared as matter a factly but received with a happy heart. generations of women, strong, tender and kind. all of us a different petal we flower one by one but bloom together.

happy birthday elle

Happy birthday my dear elle, wish i was there with you. I am looking forward to the summer with you. to play in the garden, in the sand, in the woods. I can't wait to bake, pick berries and eat them too. I can't wait for you to take pictures, work on a book. to swim, fly a kite and roast marshmallows. we will walk the dogs, ride a horse, ride our bikes. we will read books, draw some pictures, and talk about boys and there germs! we will laugh at uncle k and dylan and hide and scare them too. we will go for long drives, walks and visit more museums.You are my "bestest friend". happy birthday!
