Walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers

I don’t have much of a story to tell you today, but I wanted to share some of the details I spotted at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin.  Just pretend you’re strolling slowly along the trails with my mom, dad and me. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.  Thank you, Lady Bird! Has anyone by fussing in front of the mirror ever gotten taller by so…

Sunrise Alleluia

Is every sunrise this breathtakingly gorgeous? I wouldn’t know because I typically sleep right through them.  Today I was up, though.  I was with my Friends at Surfside Beach, remembering that the tomb is empty and giving thanks for the great love of the Father. Taking photos had not been part of the plan so my camera was left at home.  Who knew THIS…

Telluride

I took an awful lot of photos on my Colorado trip.  This is not the least bit surprising, just overwhelming.  Because why take photos if I never look at them again?  And why look at them without also sharing them?  And why share them without carefully selecting the ones I think you’ll enjoy the most?  And why share only a few when I can…

On the road again with The Oh Hellos

I’m traveling around Colorado with my favorite band again!  The Oh Hellos played a show at Telluride’s Sheridan Opera House last night, and what a terrific old venue it was. So many gorgeous details that took me right back in time. See that small set of box seats?  The outside corner seat was my vantage point for the show.  I thought surely Mr. and…

Just in case

Oh Hello, Denver friends!

As you saw in my last post, the Bluebird Theater was packed so I only had a few vantage points for filming/photographing the Oh Hellos show.  I didn’t get everything, but here are a few more video links featuring often partial songs, less than desirable positioning, and progressively bad camera-holding technique.  Consider them a tasty sampling of the full concert, and, if necessary, feel free…

Oh Hello, Denver audiences!

The noise level in Denver’s Bluebird Theater kept rising and people kept pushing toward the stage, waiting for The Oh Hellos to step out from behind the curtain. AND THEN THEY DID!  (<<< click and see!) The energy level of I Was Wrong set the tone for the rest of the show, and the audience sang along on most songs. What a welcome!  What…

Oh Hello, Denver!

An amazing, surreal, life-changing (quite possibly world-changing) thing happened this weekend.  Where to begin? Maybe here? You may recognize those two people in the middle of the group shot above since they appear on my blog every now and then.  The Oh Hellos are a little band consisting of Tyler and Maggie Heath plus a rotating crew of talented friends.  They recorded a four-song EP,…

A peaceful, easy feelin’

30 years.  That’s how long Curtis and I have been married!  Either we’re really old or really stubborn or really the soulmates we thought we were way back when.  Maybe a little of all three. To celebrate such a mind-boggling milestone, we did what any long-married couple would do:  we forgot to plan any sort of big trip, then at the last minute decided…
