“Learn from yesterday, live for today, look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon.” 

― Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown's Little Book of Wisdom

The April weather plays havoc and we see it all, a bit of snow, hail, rain, thunder, and beautiful sun breaks. But among the havoc green shoots break through the ground, buds swell on the tress and start to open, and color once again enters my small world. I have hard, dark days, paired with ah-ha moments and by months end I find bits and pieces of myself in old haunts and comforting places. I walk into May with fresh eyes and maybe a bit of grace.

I took these photos with various lenses throughout the month, most of them in our backyard. The mushrooms however were captured in a drive-by in our old neighborhood, where I learned we can’t go back.
Life is meant to be lived in forward motion.
