Mommy loves you…

September 28, 2011January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 25 Comments

Autumn afternoons

September 25, 2011January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 18 Comments

Today's photos are from a hike at Rocky Bayou State Park, just a short trip from my home. I had the trails to myself, except for a few lizards that I scared up on my walk.

He was in a very dark place because of some medical problems, that at the time seemed unsurmountable. I was literally drowning in worry and helplessness. During this past … Continue reading Life is beautiful

Universe’s end

September 13, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 15 Comments

The heat of the day was quickly waning. The sand where he sat shifted as he wrapped the blanket tighter around his legs and over his shoulders, covering his head so only his face was visible. He liked the feeling of being in a cocoon, safe, secure, protected from what lurked outside in the dark. … Continue reading Universe’s end
