I forced myself to take a walk today. It was colder than yesterday and the wind was crazy blowing. But it’s good to walk, although today wasn’t too good when I got home.
It’s MRI time again, something that happens every two months. It’s hard on my husband and that makes it hard on everyone, and it’s just a fact of life that we both have to live with. And then there is the waiting for the results.
I couldn’t stop the tears while I was walking with George but it wasn’t from sadness, it was from the damn wind! And I can hear it now blowing out there. I think it’s why I chose these dark and dreamy photos today.
I took these on New Year’s Eve in the early evening and I loved how ethereal some of them came out. Especially when I used Florabella’s vintage wine action on them.
There’s just something about the lacy branches of the trees that get to me. I know they do to some of you too, because you’ve mentioned it before.
all photos taken with a Nikon D80
I think I hurt a friend’s feelings today. And I didn’t mean to. Is it just me or have these photos begun to look darker the further the post goes?

Go to your friend and apologize,don't wait and let it eat at you and possibly her. Sometimes that is what gets to us more is the eating away and then find out that everything was okay with the two people anyway.

Dear Kate,
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favorite post of yours. Your conversation was so thought-provoking and touching. I loved the photos. Winter means many things to me but one of them is my love of trees in the winter. I love looking at the bones of a good tree. I feel that they show the strength and character of the tree.
1. The weather here today, Monday Feb. 1st (been away for a few days) is damp, cold and drizzling.
2. The last party I attended was my very own 60th birthday celebration on January 2nd. Lovely affair.
3. My favorite board game is Monopoly.
4. Yes, I have fired a gun and hated it.
5. I call Texas home now, somewhat grudgingly. I miss Maryland so much.
Thanks for such a lovely conversation.
