Green thumb: spring gardening

March 23, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 18 Comments

A few weeks ago I weeded my two raised planters (the extent of my gardening ambitions), and this weekend, I finally got my spring planting done. I put in a few strawberry starters, a new adventure for me since I've never tried to raise fruit before. The Mister wanted me to try, so... I dedicated … Continue reading Green thumb: spring gardening

Lost treasure

Hopeful traps cast deep Trawling fathomless seas Search for lost treasure

Out of the mist

March 21, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 18 Comments

In that moment between truth and a dream, where the mist is lingering, you make a choice. Do you remain in the haze, mesmerized but not truly living, or do you step through, and transform your reality into something breathtaking?

A low rumble spreads across the field, Rising up, lifting up, empowering Waves of sound roiling, a crescendo of spirit Soft leather shod feet tapping, stamping, dancing To the heartbeat of distant drums Keeping time with their life rhythm *Photo venue: Taken during Musical Echoes, a Native American music and cultural festival held each spring … Continue reading Distant drums

Water logged

March 16, 2013January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 20 Comments

The recent deluge of rain made St. Andrew's State Park in Panama City a bit water-logged, flooding the lower section of hiking trails along Gator Lake. I was still able to get in a good walk and snapped a few shots around the high water. The tiny island in the middle of the lake was, … Continue reading Water logged
