  • scenes from Nashville.

    These are some random photos from our trips to Nashville last week that I found to be nifty and wanted to share. In addition to those shots, I took another series I am just smitten with. At the angel wing mural, entitled WhatLifts You, there is a tiny set of wings next to the large… Read more

  • Well, y’all, with rain coming (actually having just arrived), my body has been so unruly and I have been sleeping much more than I expected over the past 24 hours. That said, it’s really early on the 7th – but I was sleeping unawares for many hours through the evening when I meant to post… Read more

  • Happy Easter 2025.
