I’m grateful for your generous comments, Roseanne. Thank you for your care. My dad was very ill for a long time. He and I had a good visit recently and a chance to say everything we wanted to say to each other.✨💛

Very beautiful work!

Autumn & Winter are my favorite months, though all of nature is glorious, but the darker poignancy of the Autumn & Winter helps me slow down and reflect more

🍁🍂🍄🌌🎃🎑

Also my sincere condolences and safe travels for your family 🫂💙

We’re alike that way. What is it about these months? They have their own special poetry.✨✨

Writing poetry is a cure for almost anything and your pictures are beautiful always. I hope you have safe travels and a peaceful time spent reflecting on and appreciating your father. My thoughts are with you. You've inspired me to go capture some of this micro season - one that I also love.
