**Mt. Rainier, July '08
Okay, okay. I have caught the bug.
First my friend Stephanie began a blog after she moved from Texas (miss her dearly), and then another dear friend Cathy. I have often thought of starting, but didn't know what content to include.
I teach as a profession, so found a little time to ponder life this summer. My interests? My family's activities, reading all sorts of things, gardening, and photography are a few. Photography as a creative activity has escaped me for a while, mostly snapping shots of family at gatherings or trips. ~Of course they are some of my favorite subjects, and I have begun recording the changes of my growing kids with ferocity.
Pat, my photography teacher a couple of years back, mentioned how photography gives you license to slow down and permission to see. It takes a moment to frame a shot, as many of you know, to consider the angles and notice the beauty. Blogging will require a moment of consideration in what's happening in our blurry lives. That's the reason for the title of this space.
I will later post some stories of family, but for now am including some of my favorite digital shots. (Yes, I still cling to the film of the dark ages, but I am branching out.) Forgive me for fighting it so long, I am growing and learning.
Leaving Mt. Rainier...
Tiny active creatures in our garden...

Take care my friends.
