The Inbetween
Have you ever found that when you’re in the middle of a transition, that there’s a certain feeling that is associated with it? Maybe you’re starting a new job and leaving an old job, moving to a new house having already packed up your prior home, getting ready to expand…
Waterfall Wednesday: Upper Triphammer Falls
I haven’t quite pinned down why this waterfall is one of my favorites. Maybe it’s because it falls at angular steps. Maybe it’s because it’s in such an urban setting. Maybe it’s because it satisfies some need to find out where things start. Maybe it’s the beautiful lake and waterlilies…

Fun Fact Friday: Pablo Picasso, What’s in a Name?
Did you know that the artist Pablo Picasso’s name was so long? That must have been a lot to memorize as a kid. I decided today would be a good day to talk about Picasso as his birthday was yesterday. Born October 25, 1881, he would have been 137 (he…
