Well, I don’t have any roses in bloom right now, but exploring with my camera,
right outside of my house
on an early Sunday morning
in late summer,
yielded many photo opportunities.
Next week is our orientation week for the international students coming into IUPUI. This weekend was the opening of the Olympic games in Beijing. Two of my grandkids just finished a week at a Confucius Camp at IUPUI and will both be taking Chinese this fall.
I think about my daughter and her husband exploring new parts of Japan during their holiday week. I am planning a trip to Japan in December and am currently reading the book "The Mother of Dreams, Portrayals of Women in Modern Japanese Fiction" edited by Makoto Ueda.
Doug, my ex-husband and best friend, is getting ready to reconnect with high school friends some forty years later.
I have been reading books about the Holocaust and immersing myself from the perspective of second generation Holocaust survivors and children coping with their Nazi childhoods.
From here to there and everywhere (I think that is a quote from Dr. Seuss).
The future, the past and the here and now.
And now I am back in my own backyard looking for bits and pieces of beauty to help ground me – to help me cope with the larger world and the unknowable future.
Please enjoy my Sunday morning through the pictures in this blog.
