Little N's flags

the end of the summer

to the tower

one of kiddo's favorite strolling destinations

Hi! or Light!

My son is slowly collecting and practicing his first words.
"Hi! Hi!" he calls out whenever he sees Light! Light!
It surprises me - all the light he finds around us.

stepping out from under the bridge, "Hi! Hi!" to the sun & to the light on the water


You might try it yourself. It's positively infectious.
For one day greet every light you meet with a bold bright "Hi!"

HI!

in loving memory

There are three times of the year when I especially pause to remember my father.

October 31/November 1 for Samhain & All Souls, where we honor our Beloved Dead.
January 13 for the anniversary of his death.
July 28 for his birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad. Your life continues to be celebrated and missed.
And loved.

fuschia & ferocious

thistles are among my favorite flowers. I've been watching these on my walks to work each day, waiting for them to bloom. but on my walk home last night I saw that someone has started to cut them down! probably due to the big pointy thorns... so I climbed over the guard rail and into the thorny brush to catch a few photos of these fierce summer beauties.

in my bookbag today

do not disturb

sometimes it even works!

potted plant

such a treat to find this little plant-ling making its way up from what I thought was dead dirt.
Do you see the little droplet on the fresh new leaf?

late summer

the scenery is changing on my office route

rich new colors

Baby N's best friend is the Brown Bear.
The Brown Bear makes lots of new things possible
and everything more fun!

summer solstice 2009

I dream of being this confident in my body.

lots more cyclists this year!

loving all that color

a tribute to summer heat & light

more confident women

in a lively, lithe, bellydance

our weather is infamous

not sure about the next two...

they were part of a skit

involving a holy roman cardinal (i think...)

"peace train take this country..."

plastic bags have got to go!

This year Baby N made it through the cyclists.

He clapped! & then went in for a nap.

Maybe next year he'll stay up for the parade...
