Snapshots of this chapter
Posted on | April 10, 2010 | No Comments
I went biking yesterday, taking in the color and scent of spring. I equipped myself with my camera and a backpack, wanting to remember this day despite the awkwardness of a giant camera draped around me while steadily pedaling.
It is my last week in this home, you see. This home in which we settled into a fresh city, new jobs. This home that we grew in, cried in, remained hopeful. I pruned my first rose here, broke my toe after my pup pushed me off a log. I experienced my first green Christmas. And it's not that I am attached; it is simply a part of my life I do not want to lose, a chapter forgotten.
The beauty in this world never ceases to amaze me. These flowers and trees were simple, wild plants growing just off the road. The colors were actually quite amazing, but black & white seemed to fit my nostalgia.
