Telling the Truth

before my eyes
they swim
in salt water

old photos
fresh with memories

I blink
reluctant to move
my eyes

tears water
my face

Christmas stockings in Altadena

Peanut butter sandwiches and milk on the lawn

Picking cherries in California

 Thinking deep thoughts with Rosey Grier

Not sure what to do with all this snow above Altadena!

Shopping with Mom – Note boa (?) on daughter’s arm

Posing with Mom and Dad on a hot day in Arizona

Those were the days!
Beauty and memories captured on camera
Reminders of what endures from generation to generation

Have a happy weekend!
And don’t forget to take a few photos.
