Fight or flight: On the outside you look ok, maybe even calm.

You do what you can, appreciate your surroundings and what you notice in creation. The beauty of this flying flock just aboveContinue reading “Fight or flight”

Kansas Turnpike bridge + dirty car windows

Just a quick shot I took as my husband was driving 75+ miles per hour down the Kansas Turnpike a few months ago.
