this is where i live.

out my door and steps away. on the seawall. fresh sea air, green trees, deep breaths.

for as long as i can recall, my parents have told me about the long walks along the seawall, with me as a wee babe in the pram. cold winter days, blustery wind, warm sheepskin keeping the chill out... and then the time when at 4 months old i touched the dirt with my small feet for the very first time. again, on the seawall, with salt sea air, pram nearby... these stories (and a sort of visceral sense of having been here before) come forth each time i walk along this seaside path. deep breaths, feeling blessed.

a room of one's own...

settling in to a new space with new light, new floors, new smells, new feels.

it's good.

there's room for quiet, or cooking, or stretching, or sleeping, or eating, or...

it's feeling very good.

family holidaze.

family timez are good timez.

thank you for your love.

beautiful baby.

tara's new beautiful boy baby. welcome home, little one.

focus

partly because i am not sure what direction this blog is going in, and partly because i am exploring this new amazing camera, i am going to focus on posting a photo every couple of days instead of dwelling on composing profound posts that go nowhere.... i'm having fun exploring depth of field, perspective, colour, shadow, composition, and sometimes even movement.... for now.
