I’m ugly

August 14, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 32 Comments

I’m not ugly because I’m nearing the second half of my life, and gravity and time have done their best to conquer me. I’m not ugly because my skin is dry and grey, wrinkles forming around my eyes and mouth, creasing my forehead and neck. I’m not ugly because the black stubble on my chin … Continue reading I’m ugly

Cruisin’

August 13, 2011January 15, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 24 Comments

Summer is winding down. Crowds are thinning out, temps are beginning to drop (even if only a little) and schools are about to start again. I am ready for fall.

I have never liked you. I never will like you. ... it's still the truth. ... you are beautiful! … Continue reading I know you don’t believe me but…

It’s hot out here…

July 30, 2011January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 27 Comments

Despite my best efforts to get out for my photo hike early in the morning, it was still hot as blue blazes. Coupled with the near 100% humidity, I literally sweated through two sets of clothes in less than four hours. (I actually do take changes of clothes when I go out, since I know … Continue reading It’s hot out here…
