You know what’s great about sunrises and sunsets? It’s that no matter what lies ahead, the day can begin beautifully. And no matter what happened over the course of the day, it can end beautifully. And today, well… today began beautifully. Like jaw on the floor beautifully.

Perspective
I spotted this sculpture at a local museum over the weekend and my thoughts keep wandering back to him. This first photo was my surprise and delight. The large block figure was so unexpected as I pulled into the parking lot. And the accompanying sign with the title of the piece was even more unexpected…
Happier
“To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.” – George Santayana This park looks so cool any time of year. Fascinating shapes when the trees are completely bare. Nature’s garland. Perfect reflections. And always a smile.
Frost Flowers
I’m a little behind, but I really wanted to post these images from the other day. With the first real cold snap in the area, the air was frigid, but the ground still hadn’t experienced a hard freeze — which makes for ideal conditions for a frost flower bloom. (Or so I’ve been told.) So…
Kindness
Today is International Kindness Day! To mark the occasion, here is a fun mural I saw over the weekend during a road trip, along with a list of “seven ways to start making kindness the norm in your daily life” (according to a very nice random Instagram post I spotted this week): 1.) Send an…

A squirrel’s interpretation of Monday. And I am totally feeling it.
Sunday Scenes
Today’s leaf report: while most colors are past their peak, there’s still quite a bit of beauty and the gingko tress are just getting warmed up. There’s still some red out there! And hearts, of course.
And it was all yellow
Today’s leaf report: Gingko trees are starting to let go. Even the damp, dreary morning couldn’t dull this display. This is not my house, but I could not resist taking this photo on my way home. You know how Christmas cards sometimes depict a sweet little house enveloped in a fresh blanket of snow? This…
There it is
Today’s leaf report. I had to take the photo inside because I collected these leaves during a walk that I couldn’t finish before dark — for the first time this season. I’ve been dreading this. Although I did manage to spot and take a photo of a little tar heart before I needed a flashlight….
Magic
“If you look closely, you can find magic tucked inside of ordinary moments every single day… You can see it in how your momma looks at you with boundless love, even knowing your entire story, faults and all. You can feel magic as the sun rises, filling the air with endless possibility at a new…
hey there, friends
