Before the pandemic I would often take photographs of the sunrise and sunset. Photos of the moon bring great delight. Last night I looked outside my window and caught a most beautiful, vibrant moon. I stood in awe comforted by the fact that the sun still rises as […]
Having a birthday during a pandemic is an interesting, to say the least, experience. I can’t even remember what my age is as of this weekend. However, I will remember wearing a face mask for it. I will remember my smile having to come through my eyes. Tyra […]
