The theme for this post is very loose. It's about one of my favorite words: light.
It's the first word Jessica said, at seven months, pointing up from the back seat of the car.
Into the Light.
Lighten Up.
StarLight.
Bud Light.
.
.
It's New Year's Eve Day in Northampton...
.
.
...Into the Afternoon...
.
.
.
...And through the lights of the #9 Walkway...
..
....Starting with Drinks
.
and ending with Chocolate Pudding Cake
.
And Everything in Between...
.
....Good Friends and Laughs Well Past Midnight...
.
....(One of the good friends being Stella)...
.
.
.
...Where the Colors of the World will Shine just for You...
.
Shine Over and Over sometimes,
Until You Finally Look Up
and Say, 'Thanks."

ReplyDeleteDear kj - what a glittering post! I'm back and catching up with you! Thank you so much for your gift of cards waiting for me - they cheered me up so much after a VERY long journey back from Australia! I look forward so much to 2010 with you! Caroline x
ReplyDeletehb, how wonderful to see you here. i know your new year is not until march (?) but boy do i wish you light and happiness. i think of you often, my dear friend. ♥
ReplyDeletemark, light and airy which for me is progress!! hee hee
ribbon, sigh, i know.... thank you and love to you too, xoxo
renee, thank you moon sister.
soulbrush, here's an honest admission, i hope you may find it helpful: i do like the holidays but last year was horrible and this year i decided to really TRY, not to be frenetic or put demands on myself, but to let myself spend time with people i sought out, to let myself be generous with others, to enjoy good company and good and my own hand at baking and creating. i gave myself time without pressure. and soul, it really helped me. i had a very nice christmas. my heart is still sad and sometimes lost, but i did it! i'm kind proud of myself...♥
caroline, welcome back! i hope your holidays were all you hoped for. how nice to know you are back because i look forward to 2010 with you too. ♥
Beautiful!! Happy New Year, KJ!! love, Silke

ReplyDeletenow that i'm back from the beach (and the desert), i was able to read all your posts i missed.
ReplyDeletekj, blue moon made me sigh.
simple made me nod my head yes yes (and it made me hungry).
and your new year's light made me happy. your photos are so sweet and glow with light, and as you know it's the most important thing in photography.
but truly, it is very touching and lovely. your posts always touch my heart. always.
keep taking those great photos!
