Exquisite Jill- all of it. Thea's View is very special, I can see that in motion, swaying – very gently. Just beautiful! I adore Duane's work - I can see why he would use your images too. Awesome that you are college friends!! Have a lovely week.

Thank you so much for all this, Andrea! You are so kind!

My friend Thea lives in a beautiful, charming historic home and I take loads of photos every time I'm there for a visit. So much richness and character to work with digitally.

Your beautiful daughter shares your same warm smile. Your collection of photographs are such a strong reminder of the joy we carry within us, the challenges we can overcome, and how we are this moment. Beautiful work, Jill.

What a beautiful post — the combination of your writing, images, and the sweet, tender nature of the transitional time you’re in made me feel, as my 31 year old son would say, “Some type of way.” Lovely. Thank you for sharing, Jill. And congratulations to your daughter!

Valerie, thank you so much!! And love the "some type of way" words- that is definitely on point. I think these transitional times hold a bit of magic in their bittersweetness.

I appreciate you, thanks for the kind words!
