In my very first blog post, almost 4 years ago, I wrote that I hoped this weekly blog would let friends, family, and future fans know that I was at least kicking, even if they didn't get a letter or email from me in a timely fashion. After the busy summer I have had, I feel especially negligent, so today I am trying to use a few photos to begin sorting through this summer and its comings and goings.
I am starting with these finishing days of summer. While I look forward to the upcoming sustained days of working on my phototgraphy, I also celebrate and appreciate the variety of life and the change of pace I experienced in spades this summer. So, for now, here is a sampling of words and photos from August, 2014.
1. TAKING CARE OF THE PLACE, and getting ready for winter (thanks, Frank!):
 |
| gathering wood for the wood cook stove, keeping it in the barn until needed |
 |
| visiting granddaughter's breakfast on the deck, with our barn in the background |
 |
| cosmos in the garden |
 |
| at Sandy's, a red sunflower! |
 |
| more potos from Bonnie's garden, when I delivered to her prints of the photos I took in July |
3. DRIVING TO NEW ENGLAND, with a major delay soon after leaving home:
 |
| Redoing a section of route 7 - looking ahead |
 | |||
| looking behind - stopped traffic can be a good opportunity to take a photo |
 |
| the lake near their home, but no one was swimming that chilly morning |
 |
| the view from the house where we all gather |
 |
| deck central, a brief moment of only two talking |
 |
| older generation, in a renewing energy mode |
 |
| youngest generation using up energy: two photos of three cousins |
 |
| early morning in Maine |
Here's to all the teachers and students getting ready to be back at work, and to family we'd drive many miles to be with for a weekend.
