We can just call this image a self portrait at the moment. It's my son but it illustrates exactly how I feel right now for so many reasons. I'm definitely "in the weeds".

"It's a a quarter moon in a 10 cent town. Time for me to lay my heartaches down. Saturday night gonna make myself a name, take a month of Sundays to try and explain..."

Sometimes you're big and orange and remind me of the first time I saw snow. I was in my twenties and road tripping through Colorado. I woke up in the car to the sound of Neil Young's Harvest Moon and snow was all around, glittering as the sun came up.

I'm not sure why (a myth?) but, when you are full, I always think something strange might happen and that makes me kind of nervously excited. Thank you for taking me by surprise so many times. You are quiet, ever present and keep so many things in balance down here on Earth. You are under appreciated.

You caught my eye today as I was walking to my car after a late afternoon photo session in the park. I appreciate how you always help divert my attention to the larger things in life and not all the small, tangled thoughts in my head. I cannot imagine our Earthly sky without you.

I think this sweet little face speaks for itself, right? This is Skylar. I think it might be one of my favorite shots of the year and not just the week. I love that moment when you and the camera just CONNECT with the subject. It's like you can see their spirit. It's especially true of little ones because they're always running around crazy. So, when they stop for that moment and you get a glimpse, it's so wonderful. Thanks for letting me see you Sky.

I found this little bird recently. As far as I could tell, he had fallen out of the nest. The mama bird was sitting up and away from him watching him. They were calling out to each other but she was leaving him be, which I couldn't figure out. I'm hoping it was because I was close by.

This shot is really resonating with me at the moment. I recently made a big mental and emotional leap and committed to finishing a long standing project. I am finally going to finish writing the instructional photography book that I have been working on for so long. My goal is to be finished by the end of November (if not sooner). I'm very excited about it but, for reasons I don't yet understand, I think I have been afraid to finish it. So, I just made the decision and threw the book out of the nest so to speak. My book has safely sat in my head for way too long and now it needs to fly.

Wish me luck friends!
