On Monday I had one of those "meh" days. What seems like weeks upon weeks of wet, cold, cloudy weather has really been taking a toll on my spirits. I was off work Monday for the Mardi Gras break, and I had just about decided that all I was going to do was sit around… Continue reading Beyond your comfort zone

I'll continue to blog about birds, running, dogs, and life, but you will soon be able to purchase fine art prints of some of your favorites from my bird photos. Later this year, I'll have some gift items available for the holidays -- those are… Continue reading A brand-new adventure
In wishing a friend a happy 50th birthday the other day, I said "Welcome to the best decade yet!" and as I thought about that response, I realized I really and truly meant it. Welcome to the Fabulous 50s! Do I mean that my 50s are my literally best decade thus far? Are they simply… Continue reading Bien dans son âge
When we first moved into the Sunshine House, B and I noticed some crinkled-up brown debris in some of the nooks and crannies of the giant oak tree in our front yard. Having no personal giant oak experience, we worried and hoped nothing was wrong with our beautiful tree, and the tree service guys who… Continue reading Resurrection
I love to celebrate birthdays (if you know me at all, you know that I will drag mine out for a full month, if possible) and Brian's is no exception. This year, however -- today, in fact -- his birthday has taken on a whole new meaning, with a much different reason to celebrate. What… Continue reading Happy birthday, baby.

We had run the race last year and absolutely loved it, and we both have been seriously bitten by the trail bug. To say that I was grossly… Continue reading On being a #SmartRunner and the MS50
For as long as I can remember, my favorite bird has been the tufted titmouse. I have always been charmed by his bright, inquisitive black eye, the perky tuft atop his head, his lovely markings, with shades of grey and his peachy-coloring underneath. My brothers and I grew up learning about and loving nature. Our… Continue reading The tale of the titmouse
Back in May, at the funeral of a colleague's mother, I began to cry and could not stop, already beginning to mourn the loss I knew was soon ahead. My then-boss, a wise and wonderful woman, held me in a tight hug afterwards, knowing, without my saying a word, what I was thinking. And then… Continue reading This is grief
As I have shared, when Mama J moved to Louisiana I asked to photograph her and began this blog as a way to work through the emotional toll of becoming a caregiver to an aging/dying parent. I didn't realize it would all too soon become a vehicle for keeping friends and family apprised of her… Continue reading In-between
