Family Matters

Family matters. And sometimes, family hurts. At 70, I’m learning that loving the people closest to us isn’t always easy—but maybe continuing to love is what matters most....

Reminders

"Remember, you're 70 years old." Five little words that have been rattling around in my head ever since someone reminded me of a fact I was already WELL aware of! Funny how a simple reminder can change the way we think about ourselves. But I've decided that being 70 and THINKING about being 70 are two entirely different things. My latest blog post, Reminders, is about getting older, keeping my sense of humor, and refusing to let a number get in the way of living. And with a trip to Acadia National Park just around the corner, I've decided it's time to forget how old I am. At least until we get home! 😂...

Since trading my Canon R6 and the RF 100mm f/2.8 L macro for an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III and its accompanying lens, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO, my macro photography has gotten a lot better. And an added bonus - it's much more enjoyable!

The Things We Leave Behind

A few memories from seven decades of watching history unfold—from moments that shook the world to the quieter moments that shaped my own little corner of it. At 70, I find myself wondering what pieces of my life might remain in the memories of those I leave behind....

Every so often I get lucky when I'm in the garden with my macro lens on. This is a Hummingbird Moth (Hemaris diffinis), AKA Snowberry Clear Wing Moth.

The Big Unknown

I never really thought about getting old… until I got old. My latest post is a reflection on aging, mortality, faith, and the questions that seem to grow louder with each trip around the sun. I’d love to hear your thoughts....

Echoes and Ghosts: Somewhere Between a Listening Room and a Sonar Shack

A submarine sonar shack under the Mediterranean Sea. A listening room full of vinyl. A camera in hand. A stubborn light strip under my desk. Different machines, same ghosts....

Pluses Outrank Minuses

Seventy trips around the sun will eventually teach a person a few things — including how to deal with curve balls you never saw coming. My latest blog post is about MRIs, aging, mindset, and why I still believe the pluses outrank the minuses....
