I have realized that is also what I have been doing in life. Searching for direction. I feel I have finally found both. I really love this flat, bleached look and that kind of describes my life, flat, not too colorful but with a muted beauty.

Hard to believe how fast the time has gone by. It is such an old cliche, yet it rings true. Can you forgive me for who I was? For the way I thought then? I could only do what I knew then to be the right path. Of course, if I knew then what I know now I would have made other choices. That is the great thing about hindsight, right?

Two weeks ago I attended the 2014 Irving Marathon
as part of my Irving Photography Group. The conditions were anything but ideal for a marathon as the weather was damp, cold, and blustery. I had to admire and respect all the runners

The Burke,as I call it, is a very quiet serene place at the confluence of several freeways and one river. An oasis in the middle of a busy city.
