01 First Thoughts

… we are down to our last few days on the island… i am starting to anticipate being home, imagine it… on some trips i am very anxious to get home… this one a little less so… we have had a good time and done most of the things we wanted to do… my only regret is that i didn’t read more, but ok, vacations are for letting go of should and giving full reign to the want of the moment…

… my picture making has been a little lackluster lately, but i am not worrying about it… i continue to explore the capabilities of the iPhone and will certainly go home with a good set of pictures overall… also, i have given color a fuller nod while here… don’t know if it will last, i do love b&w, but i am getting them to look better… editing color pictures has not been as successful as b&w for me… hard to get what i think of as a natural look…

… thinking about the family situation… trying to find my footing in it… trying to achieve perspective and grace towards myself and family members… it’s going to be an emotional year…

… a big thump of the floor as our very large cat Rubie jumps down from the window sill…
