I feel like I’m behind on my adventures or maybe I just wanted you to miss me a little.  I have been a bit busy rededicating my life to my other love, using big words.  In between I’ve also managed to get one last trip in for the foreseeable future. Folks on Twitter are privy to my adventures through New England (Sargent’s Purchase, New Hampshire; Massachusetts (Boston, Rockport, Ashland and Framingham); York, Maine).  Did some mountain climbing (driving), stood at 6,288 feet just to say I did it, ate more lobster than I’ve seen in my life and got to bond with family.  Those memories will keep me warm for the next 6 months or so.

About the shot: Went to that overused location by the river to help out Amy who was helping out Jennifer and met Felicia.  I put her in front of that equally overused red door and…I like it.

Something from not so long in the distant past.  Adventure Time in Raleigh (*sigh* Dames Chicken and Waffles). Brittney decided not to put up her usual resistance during the shoot (must have been the heat).  Not used to it and admittedly it was actually a bit weird but it worked out.

It’s early at night so pardon the ramble or rather I might be more garrulous than usual and because I’m tired you’ll find me using words like garrulous .  My current mood wants this post to be somewhat self exploratory.  While that’s not unusual, I seldom, unless in an ambiguous haze of furtive statements,  share any protected aspect of my personal life.  Besides you get to see my soul once a week on schedule.  I’m not complicated but the general perception is that I operate sub rosa.  I just think people aren’t asking the right questions and if I don’t answer “it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence.” This picture was taken some time ago and represents one of those moments where everything seemed in synchronicity, unforced, and as natural as breathing for those of us who can count ourselves lucky enough to have mastered the habit.  I had big plans for this but like every idea that bakes too long in that mind of mine, self inflicted or externally influenced, I find that I’ve kind of moved on.  It’s beautiful, it speaks to a beautiful day, for me a good day, on my good week, a thoughtful day, one of serendipitous self-reflection and the sharing of secrets without consequences.  I find that it makes me calm whenever I stare at it.  I hope it evokes a similar response. Cheers.
