seeking the wild of the everyday

blue skied winter


portraits of february/imbolc:
 how could we stay indoors? drought anxiety aside, it's perfect wandering weather.

i am reminded of this time last year, and how much one can travel on their journey in a year.


best part about working near-ish? the bike commute.

come home to a dear little olivia


finally:  my precious baby brother in my 'hood!

the sweetest little darth vader

house portrait.


perfection.

sunset at work.

tail lights.
*big sigh* "i neet a redt!" (he needs a rest, apparently. it must be a big trip from the park to our house.  it's not.)


come home to two nappers.

teddy finds the hen's nest.

oy, back again, a shrinking violet amidst life-long ballerinas.

heart break too: grandma norma casper passed away. as of now link and ty are travelling to utah 'til sunday to be with family, and i can't bear the quietness of this house. ty will be gone on his 31st birthday. link and i have never spent more than a night away from each other. this nursing mother fears lonely insomnia! death lays an interesting energy into the family dynamic. rest in peace, norma. you are forever adored.

blossoming trees everywhere in roseville. come take a peek! the concern is real, yet so is the beauty.

magic moonlit walks are the best medicine for madness.

*hears camera lens*

the biggest bird in the tree.

the last until the next rain, which i hope is soon!

a more beautiful child i have not seen.

wild radish/runch. these dainty purples melt my heart.
so does this guy.

some fog time.


tilted scorpius, pre-dawn walk to work.

the evening constitional.

vivid dusk.

i marvel at the way my children navigate the neighborhood. i feel like a momma bear with two cubs, wandering the environment, pointing out dangers. (like cars/the street.) 

evening orion.
lots of feelings during this time! a lot of healing and introspection, and noticing gifts in life... so a lot of walking. ;)
the universe has enough space for you to be exactly as you are!

  1. oooh every bit is perfect. I love the way you are experiencing imbolc, have to go reread your last few sentences because they ring true and remind me of things i forget to think about. i should be walking more. i think lucy needs a bigwheel, although to make it up our hill she'd surely need a lot of redts. ;) your sweater on the evening walk is the prettiest.

    i've been ambivalent about the dry warm weather. enjoying it more this year, and yet hating it too and craving rain in my bones. can't wait for our nice downpour that better pan out this weekend.

    your boys are beautiful and your walking thoughtfulness inspiring, your blossoms are calling me. thank you love.
