Picking up the trail….

No question, I lost the blogging drive quite a while back.  Not that I had nothing to say (ask anyone, I have plenty to say), but I lost the urge to put it in black and white.  The joy was missing, the flashes were gone. 

I’ve been feeling the urge come back recently, don’t know why.  But I like it.  The flashes of light are coming back.  A few months ago while driving to work, it was that deep blue purple of false dawn, and there was an architecturally beautiful building in silhouette against the sky that made me think…that I’d like to share the beauty.   My camera was in my purse, but too buried to get out in time (in freeway traffic!).  It happened again today, also on the way to work.  The sun was coming up over the horizon and warm morning light was reflecting off vertical rows of windows on the downtown skyscrapers with brilliant flashes of golden yellow light.  The camera was still buried, but the image is burned in my mind.  

Somehow I’ve been edging closer to putting things in writing again, even without photographs.  There have been so many other moments in the last year+ that I hope to touch on later. 

And despite the gloomy economy and global climate change, there are still items in the news that elicit a smile.

And oh yeah, I got a new laptop.  Inspiration city!  ♥  Sparkles abound….
