Tell me a story: October 2016

It is now end October and I am 3 months post surgery, and recovery is taking a lot longer than I expected.

Tell me a Story: September 2016

We finally arrived in Leavensworth and day 1 is where my Tell me a Story Blog is going to happen.  The day was overcast and drizzly as we arrived.  Fortunately our drive from the Orcas Islands to Leavensworth had been pretty good.  The air was cold and we quickly bundled up.  After booking into the motel we decided to head out while the rain was…

Tell me a Story: April 2016

Tell me a Story is live and this month’s quote really spoke to me.

Tell me a story: February 2016

This year I asked the group member is they would like to take things up a notch, and perhaps for the year, blog on a quote.  The interpretation is open, blog on how the quote speaks to you personally.  February’s quote is as follows:   Photography is an art of observation It has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with…

Tell me a Story: January 2016
