On The Road

Took off on a little road trip this week. Heading north to where it's winter. This is from central Nevada.

The Matador vs. The Pacific

Matador Beach, that is.

Sunrise on the East Coast

I was in Florida this past week, working for several days with just a thin pane of glass separating me from the Atlantic. If you've spent any time around the Zippy headquarters, you'll probably guess that this was a difficult state of affairs for me. But, on the last day, I dragged myself out of bed early and spent a good hour enjoying the sand and sunrise.

Santa Rosa Camping Trip

Someday soon I'll get back to writing here. But, first, here are some pictures from a trip I made out to the Channel Islands last month. We stayed for a few days, walked many miles, drank lots of hot coffee, made many dumb jokes (it's called 'island humor', only permissible on islands), sat in the grass, spotted elk, slept in the sand (well, one of us did, the others pointed and laughed), ate good food. It was all very good.

Sunday Afternoon

And while we're on the subject of light, here's a fun one from last sunday afternoon. Think hot and sunny, the smell of cut grass, and feet in the fountain.

Office Window

I have the very great privilege of working from home a few days every week. Although this almost never means shorter hours, it does provide some benefits. Such as the light outside my window at around 7pm on a June evening. Yes, I'm still working, but I've got windows on all 4 sides of my little studio office and the view is hard to beat...

Cherry Trees

Looking Up

Here's a view from this afternoon. We're obviously not in California anymore...but where? I'll leave that up to you to guess...

Homeland

I guess you have to come home sometime. I guess, in this case, it's not that bad.

Grace

You are close
Closer than we know
And there will be a day
When all will be revealed.
-- Eoghan Heaslip, Grace In The Wilderness

The Grass Of The Field

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
To the one who seeks him;
It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

I called on your name, O LORD, from the depths of the pit.

You heard my plea: "Do not close your ears to my cry for relief."
You came near when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear."
O Lord, you took up my case; you redeemed my life.
