Taunting Moth - Day 80


Not the best quality photo...had to put the ISO pretty high, but my kitten Indy made me laugh tonight trying to catch a moth on the other side of the window.  The moth has not moved in over two hours...the cat has jumped over 50 times.

You are My Sunshine - Day 71



Two years ago today, I lost my dad. He and my mom's favorite song was "You are My Sunshine"....they actually 
recorded it once with my aunt and uncle.  That song just defines them.
My memories of my dad, are just the best.

Teri and Spectra - Day 60

ISO 1600

I met these two beautiful women today while I was having tea with friends.
I asked Spectra to be part of my 100 Strangers Project.  She was happy to do so.

However, the love between these two was so apparent I knew that this would be my favorite photo of the day.  It made me miss my daughter and my mom.  That mother daughter bond is so special.  Love that I met them, and I hope they had a great day in Austin.
