A Full Basket


Sept, 6 2006


Today feels like a basket full of hope-
newborn 
my dreams still slumber
but my heart sees them and smiles   





Today's post will be done before my walk today.  I knew that I would be busy this evening - with my quilting group of 20 + years. So I decided to post early. 
By posting early I am hoping to get to bed before 11PM. I need my rest... The traveling husband is taking me to Switzerland on Saturday for a week - and then onto the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean.  I am uncharacteristically exited--(usually it's, "bah travel- I would rather stay home.") But first I have to pack- well put the stuff in my suitcase. Hmmm.

Why the baby photo? I have a mommy and infant photo session tomorrow- I look forward to photographing such a special time. As I  look at photos for inspiration I found myself remembering my own children as babies, the love bursting out, the awe, the fear.  I was struck how I am feeling a lot of those same feelings now.Not about the photo session- I love those.

I would like to have a concise reason for these feelings- but I don't have one yet.

  1. That sounds like a beautiful trip you'll be taking. What inspiration you'll see for your photography and creativity! Very exciting :)

    It's interesting too how you prepare for a photo shoot, to almost get "in the zone" in a way. I'd imagine feeling your own connections from the past help you to understand the subject matter well?

  2. A stunning photo- a photo that speaks to the full promise to come, a journey, an adventure, the unknown. A little like travel- wishing you a fabulous trip (I'm a little envious). Be safe!
