tonight.

peeking into this evening*

*alternatively: playing with the new 50mm lens and having too. much. fun.

backyard moments.

yesterday was another "one of those days." one of those "this is what happens when people get older and you live far away from your family and you don't have control of anything and you just have to wait for information and pray and try not to panic and wait some more and make the best decisions you can" kind of days.

after some phone calls and some tears, jonny and millie got me out of the house.

just out into the backyard to sit in the glider and listen to the birds and breathe.

i captured some of the many faces of our miss millie as we sat together as our little family...

(thank you for your kind comments...they mean so very much to me. as i sit here in the morning quiet punctuated by the insistent but happy chirping bird outside the window, i know that i am so blessed.)

a little wdw for your viewing pleasure

a few people have asked me why i haven't posted more pictures from disney world. the truth is that it just takes me forever to resize and choose and all that when i am looking through a whole big batch of photos.

so here are a few for you...i am adding a few more to flickr here and there in a set (you can go to the set just by clicking through to my flickr account by clicking any of these photos)

hope you are having a beautiful day, wherever you are in the world.
i am hoping for blue skies here in washington...

five (really) good moments from last week and happy (belated) new year

please share your five (really) good things...or moments...from the last few days...catch me up on what is happening in your world...
