Flashes

Another weekend flashes by and I do my best to slow it down. Images present themselves and I say "alright... I'll give it a try."

Shadows, a bracelet, an old downtown hotel...



Raindrops, a rainbow, and a boy turning 9...




There is more to show, more to say, and more to contemplate. But, then I remember, oh yes... I am on August Break....

Welcome week 2 :)

xx oo

Linking with Amanda, too

  15. All these beautiful glimpses… I feel like I'm peeking through your windows right now, MJ. Can't hear a lot of the conversation, can only see a tiny bit, have to guess the 90% happening under the surface, but these glimpses are lovely—they carry an energy that doesn't need words. I see joy, such joy in your boys face! And feel warmth, love and delight. Even on a 'break,' your posts embody the words Wander Wonder Discover. Thank you, dear friend :)
