Sometimes as I’m moving around in my day, an image gets stuck in my head that I can’t shake. Sometimes it conjures up a memory, a feeling, or provides an impulse to do something. Often, though, I just see something that I want to capture in my mind for no particular reason-it just speaks to me. I’d like to offer these images up for ‘thought contributions’-as a way to generate a community of ideas together.
Unlike most people who live in my part of California, I hate the hot weather. Sometimes I really wonder what I’m doing here-all I can think of is how to escape the heat and get to the cool, foggy days on the coast. So when I think of summer’s end, I don’t mourn the long, hot days – my mind actually goes right back to our last summer trip to the northern part of California, where when the valley is baking in 100+ degree heat, we enjoyed a lovely day in the mid 60s. Today’s photo, taken while hiking with my kids at Trinidad, California, is in honor of the end of summer-and the beginning of back to school, back to work, and back to schedules.
When summer ends, what do you miss the most?

This week’s Friday Photo was taken a few months ago, on a special ‘girl’s weekend’ road trip I take every year with four of my most favorite women. Each of them brings different gifts to my life: humor, wisdom, insightfulness, and compassion. I haven’t seen these ladies at all this summer, and I guess I’m missing them! I know that like this lighthouse, they are shining beacons of friendship in my life.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this ‘Beacons’ photo- please leave me a comment!
What image do your friends bring to mind? What gifts do they give to you?

Can you feel it? Today’s Friday photo was taken on my recent road trip
family vacation. As my son said, ‘This place is an 11 year old’s playground paradise!” I have to agree on the paradise part-it was a lot of work to get there, but so worth it! Can you guess where we were?
