Mirror, mirror

Eden Gardens bayou skies
October 31, 2013January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

Sometimes I wonder if I'm living in parallel worlds. That each time I make a life-altering decision, or some major event takes place, that all the possible outcomes happen, but in different realities. I married my high school beau, instead of my college boyfriend. I didn't avoid that driver who ran a red light, I … Continue reading Mirror, mirror

Night lights

October 3, 2013January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 16 Comments

Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.” ~ Francesca Lia … Continue reading Night lights

Drifting

July 27, 2013January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 27 Comments

This week's photo hike is very special... I have a guest photographer. My daughter and I finally got out on the bayou for some kayaking, and I actually left my camera in the car - on purpose! The day started out fair, but after only 30 minutes on the water, a storm blew in. While … Continue reading Drifting

A change in the season

October 8, 2011January 10, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 30 Comments

I grew up in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. This time of year - early October - the foliage in the Smokies is glorious. Red, orange, gold, and burgundy, the color spectrum is truly stunning. The very air seems to change to a richer shade of blue. Aside from the mountains … Continue reading A change in the season

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. It's beginning to feel and look more and more like fall. Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile. ~ William … Continue reading Autumn afternoons
