notice

In looking at this series of photos thus far, I am noticing what I notice. Sometimes it's cozy, often it's a perspective I see over and over, or it's a detail, a pattern, a moment that sticks out among the mass vying for attention. It'll be an interesting journey to review the snippets as they accumulate. I wonder what they say.

toes

This isn't the best picture of Kate's feet. It's a little blurry. But it will have to do. When the creative juices are flowing, I don't want to become the perfectionist I can be--and am required to be as an editor. Its better to just get it out there and dive right in.

Back to the feet and an intro of sorts. My blog is about the things I see as I go about life. I mean SEE. Ache over, really, to be honest about it.

I'm starting with Kate's feet, her toes specifically. They get me every time; since her infancy, they have imprinted in my brain like very little else. Kate's toes. I bet other mothers will know what I mean. And if you aren't a mother yourself, I bet that your own mother was taken in by your toes as a baby, too.

Kate's are kind of long, as you can see. My grandfather, on my mother's side, had long toes, so maybe that's why hers are too. Or maybe that's just Kate's design, of which I can take heaps of credit on the one hand and hardly any on the other.

My hope for this birth--the blog that is, not Kate as that already happened--is to show you the things I see in this world and by so doing, share the mundane beauty of this ordinary life of my own. I know I'll have quite a bit of words, because I usually do, as anyone who knows me well can attest. But more than tell, I hope to SHOW my perspective in pictures, with a sprinkling of written accompaniment, as needed.
