Here’s a glimpse of a brighter day a couple weeks back, snapped like most of my foliage picks this year— through a car window. This season of my life is a whirlwind, and I’m doing my best to ride this wave of dream-chasing.

This sweet girl is nine! So grateful to share snuggly mornings, distracted walks, and countless meals with her by my side. (at Charlottesville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpAHWtlh6G7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u8h2yxc1zw40

“I go down to the edge of the sea. How everything shines in the morning light! The cusp of the whelk, the broken cupboard of the clam, the opened, blue mussels, moon snails, pale pink and barnacle scarred— and nothing at all whole or shut, but tattered, split, dropped by the gulls onto the gray rocks and all the moisture gone. It's like a schoolhouse of little words, thousands of words. First you figure out what each one means by itself, the jingle, the periwinkle, the scallop        full of moonlight. Then you begin, slowly, to read the whole story.” Mary Oliver, “Breakage” (at Sandbridge Beach, Virginia)

Thinking of my Grandma Helen, who would have loved these iris bathed in early morning light. 💜 (at Charlottesville, Virginia)
