It's really magical how the melodies fill this space when Brien and Christy play. It feels like being inside of a music box..

new colors...
And my friend Roy stopped by as I was putting my camera in my car yesterday, so I snapped a couple of shots, and found the lines on his forehead to be interesting. I hope to get out to his place with some black and white film and a real camera soon...

Chantilly...
Friends Pete and Marianna were visiting from Scotland today, so I took them for a quick visit out at the lake. They only had about an hour, so we had time for Pete to find some birds and a large mouth bass (dead, unfortunately), and of course more water reflections...
Old Friends
I was out at Tumbling Waters the other day, visiting with Susan and Catherine - the amazing women who started TW camp back in the early 70's (I think). What special people they are. While there I walked their trail on their property and remembered how much there is to see in bits of trees... Actually, it was through my time at Tumbling Waters that I developed my special love of these hills and their woods.
I hope to return before long with an old-fashioned film camera and take some portraits of Susan and Catherine.
