  • The Hunter’s Moon

    Dena October 19, 2013

    Last night was the beautiful, full, Hunter’s Moon. I snuck outside to snap a few photographs after Roman was asleep. I have always been drawn to the moon. There is something undeniably magical about it. Sometimes it takes my breath away. For ages, farmers, sailors,…

  • Life is But a Dream…

    Dena October 16, 2013

    I finally started to feel better over the weekend. I’m still not 100% sure what was wrong, but it seems that I either had kidney stones and passed them or I had a kidney infection that has cleared up. Either way it was unpleasant and…

    “Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.” —Claude Monet “Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.” —Bob Dylan…
