peaceful lakes, friendship and family


Sun reflecting off the lake causing colors to change blue, grey, green, white, iridescent. Finn splashing with his feet across the beach in front of me, followed by Bela and George.
"Mama, where are you" Willa comes down the beach to my chair in the sand carrying 3 books. "I'll sit here on your lap" she says. One book is enough though and then she is off to search for her friend Bela. I realize that right here in this moment life is amazing. Look around, even the shadow of my pen touching the paper is spectacular. Peace, stillness with the reminder of human life every now and again. Now is all there ever is. I am so glad!

Music mania


Sisters Folk Festival, wow, am I tired. What a wonderful fest this year. We had great weather and great music and great people. I was documenting the fest for the fest and pretty much saw every single act. The standouts for me: The Waifs, such beautiful music which gave me the goosebumps and made me cry! Keith Greeninger is always amazing live and fun dancing too! Stonehoney, super nice guys that know how to make music. OK, back to editing weddings for now...
