Beginning Again #1 Bozeman, Montana 2014

I’ve got a series of flower blossom images, a series of seed pod images (Latent Potential) and a series of dried plant images (Spent Beauty) so perhaps I need a series on new plant shoots. I was going to just call it simply Beginnings or something like that but then, in recognition of the fact that it’s not a one way process but a life cycle that’s going on, decided on the Beginning Again title.

RT #3 Bozeman, Montana 2014

I guess we live on school bus route #3. I just happened to have my camera sitting on the seat when the bus stopped in front of the road up to our house to let our neighbor’s kid out.]]>

The Empty Chair Wichita, Kansas 2014

I took this photo when we were in Wichita for my mother’s funeral. It wasn’t until I was working with the image for posting here that it dawned on me how symbolic it was of the situation that brought me there.]]>

Strength in Fashion Bozeman, Montana 2014

A little over three years ago when we were moving into our townhouse, the Fashion Queen was recovering from surgery. We didn’t have much furniture yet but she toughed out the rather primitive furnishings and enjoyed relaxing by the window, looking out over the creek in our back yard. Now, we are moving out of our townhouse and she is again recovering from surgery. Even though she just got out of the hospital last Tuesday, she’s been helping with the move every day. This photo was taken yesterday after all the furniture had been moved out; we had been back cleaning up and she finally took a break to rest and enjoy that same view of the creek one last time. Her mental and physical strength following surgery continues to amaze me.

Spring Fog Bozeman, Montana 2013

This was taken just about a year ago, but we’ve had a lot of weather like this recently as well. I like fog and rain–up to a point anyway. We more than reached that point this spring, which has made the last two days of bright sunny weather all that much more appreciated.]]>
