Rainy Christmas: Mom

Its Christmas morning & the rain is running down the car windows as she gets in. I tell myself that somewhere colder it is snowing. But all I took this Christmas day is this dark blurry picture that I love & I can't tell you why.

Nothing's perfect. Our lives, your car, this picture. But we can make the most of it & we do.

Two and a quarter beers. She's giggly drunk & singing Christmas songs while washing my mom's dishes as the afternoon light poured through the kitchen window.

Wandering around Truxtun in Portsmouth there were telltale signs of the holiday approaching littering people's yards. This yard wasn't so telltale but Santa hid in the back corner like an afterthought. So, Merry Christmas. A little early.

I looked out the window this morning to see the ground littered with paper airplanes where my brother had thrown them from the second floor. His childlike amusement fluttering to the ground below.

He asked me to take his picture in front of the house. Standing there
so proudly in the green shirt that matched his shutters as the wind
blew his tie.

Where I've been...

So once again it has been forever since I've posted. I will try to be more regular but find myself posting more often on my other photo page . Please feel free to look into that. This blog will become more of a haven for personal photos and the thoughts that come with them. I hope you all are well.
