An old sign at a busy intersection. The restaurant long gone. It seems to be a good example of how we ignore the past. Look closely at the missing letters…”Family owned since 19_6″

This space, once provided a living for the owners and food for the patrons. It was a place of laughter and clanking plates. It was a place of first dates and birthday parties. It was a place where memories were formed.

But now it is an overgrown street corner. Traffic flies by, trucks, cars, and motorcycles zoom through the traffic light. Those caught at the red light, focus on their phones, or frantically wait for their signal to go.

No one stops to consider what once stood, or whose memories lay abandon in the field.

The question is: “Can I get my chew toy out of the blue pool, without putting my nose in the water?”

Conversations Around the Tree started on January 3, 2014. Last night, as I slept, the number of people following my blog reached 100.

Its been a gradual climb. I’m still trying to figure out which direction I really want to take this blog. But it has also taken on a bit of its own personality….it has veered off in directions I never expected (especially the photography).

I look forward to learning from each of you and I look forward to sharing my work and admiring your work. I thank each of you for taking the time to look over my blog and choosing to click that link that will allow my work to show up in your reader!

Happy Blogging!
