Well, our neighbor sent us a picture of our home in Oregon. The weather has been unusually warm this winter and trees are already blooming. I even had to have the neighbor boy mow our yard. Normally we get a picture of snow, so this one is really causing Karen to be homesick. She's ready for her garden. Thanks Tim Tam.
This photo really brings the message of warm weather home! Believe it or not, but the apple trees are on the edge of blooming in Hood River's famous Fruit Loop, and I spent most of today photographing wildflowers (Yellow Bells, Golden Stars and Grass Widows). While in Stevenson, Washington I stumbled on an interesting quote about photography and its relationship to life: "When I picked up my first camera more than 40 years ago, I could not have imagined -- even in my wildest dreams, where it would take me, the adventures I would have, or the amazing people who would guide me and my life. The journey has been winding, the years gone by far too quickly. I'm learning and understanding better what my elders told me, 'Life is short, don't waste it.'" (The Last Great Wild Places, Thomas D. Mangelsen, Introduction). Good photography, like high quality prose, has the power to deeply move us. Karen's fondness for home at the sight of Tim Tam's photo is a good example, as are the many photos in this blog.
