weekly photo challenge: cheeky

Tour de Fat

Michelle challenges us to find a little irreverence in our world within the theme of cheeky.  I must admit it is a bit difficult to silence anxiety–as  fires rage in southern California, the number of employed homeless increases, the possible financial impact due to an inequality of federal tax burdens, children in Yemen starving, and the list goes on and on and on–long enough to shift my focus towards something “impudent or irreverent, typically in an endearing or amusing way.”    Tour de Fat…a day filled with bikes, costumes, music, friends, and family.

those snow days…blanketing the earth and gifting us with silence, before snow shovels and snow removal trucks, serene

Let’s spend a few minutes listening to…The Sound of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel.

No matter how much things change, they still remain the same.

Memory bridges our past with the present and awakens us to an awareness that life is created by minute moments that often go unnoticed as our minds are frequently elsewhere.  Photography offers us a means to awaken to these temporary moments and to create priceless keepsakes of our yesterdays.
