Color shifts on a favorite image.
There’s something about blues

Ever feel like you’re being watched?
At the gas station?

Ch Amala Zafirah and CH Amala Zayn at the 2011 Huron Valley Saluki Club Specialty. The Zs turned 9 two weeks later.

Photos courtesy of my lovely friend Karen Butler, who ran across them the other day. Wonderful memories!

Despicable and sickening.

Once upon a time, there was a castle serving tiny cheeseburgers, which pleased Miss Zaria. Her Amy in Waiting may also have had a snack or two …

A younger squirrel who doesn’t know me yet. I startled them when I walked out the door and they flew up into the tree, frozen, holding their treat …

I spoke gently as I walked to the car and left for work.

I’ve always said it never becomes easier; only different. This one? Twelve years on, this is still raw—a beautiful boy, a beautiful life, a farewell bade too soon …

Zayn, forever in my heart. Memories are precious.

The Chameleons and The Psychedelic Furs: Our seating didn’t allow the best images—though I appreciated getting a photo or two with Mark Burgess.

Two wonderful sets. One warm sold-out evening.

A warm, breezy afternoon, four years since your first flowers here. Still at times surreal. A broken carnation is a corsage for Gracie. A flag honors Grampa’s grave. Though I didn’t see deer, I knew they were there; I left extra gifts for them.

Always loved. Always missed, MollyMom.
