Renewed Daily
This sketchbook isn’t about selecting the “best” photos, it’s about curating and bringing together the photos that hold meaning for me, those that tell a story I want to remember.
Fridays are “date days” and we love to wander. Gas is expensive so we don’t travel far. We start out at Aquia Landing. The conditions are not perfect for picture-taking, but they are perfect for relaxing and recharging. A nice older gentleman waves to let me know there are Eagles nearby, in case I might want to take a picture. I smile and thank him, and turn back to the duck blind off shore. We pull over at the church and sit for a while on a bench in the sunshine. The church is situated on a bend, as Brooke Road meanders through Stafford county. The pictures I take are nothing special and everything special at the same time.
We make our way on back roads to Culpeper. I ask Siri for directions, and she says, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know where that is.” We crack up laughing, because everyone around here knows where Culpeper is. We split a chicken sandwich for lunch and stop in an Antique mall.
Today is just the right amount of a good thing.
