One thing about the social distancing this week, it definitely gives me a reason to stay home. Organizing the 32,000+ digital photos onto a hard drive was a great start (not done yet). But there was also the film negatives and scans that I needed to do something about. Hmm… Well, as I figure that […]
Winter is back in my corner of the world. I woke up to see snow flurries, blanketing the neighborhood in a soft, small layer of white flakes. These days, when it snows, it tickles me with a bit of nostalgia and I welcome how it quiets things down. But is also reminds me that I […]
The best way to deal with the winter blues? Go to a greenhouse! And my city has the best greenhouse: Franklin Park Conservatory. I spent the afternoon off the other day to feel some warm air and to get back to some creativity. Here are some of the photographs I took. Hope you enjoy!
As I reach closer to living half a century, there is something very liberating about getting older. When I was young, I was hard on myself and choices seemed limited and tough. I was hard on myself to be pretty, thin, smart, successful, unique, the life of the party. And there was a sense of […]

A couple weeks ago I ended a “bucket list” trip with my husband, Eric. There were no kids, just us, and the open road to see mountains, red painted cliffs, sagebrush for miles and the driest heat I’ve felt in years. First we went to California for his mother’s 80’s birthday and to see the […]
