His & Hers
...
His and hers bicycles ~ how cool is that?!
Funny thing is the owners of these bicycles do not even know each other, it is just by chance that they both parked at the building at the same time.
A perfect match ~ like a lot of things in my life.

Visions of Home ~ Part Two
...
The last stretch of the driveway on the old farm.
The tree is no longer there, the farm house is not longer there, and the land has been sold to someone else...
No longer a place to call home. Just memories.

This song was playing while I worked on this post.

Visions of Home

Our old blue house that is now a (boring) white house.Fun memories of playing in the back yard, pitching an old green canvas tent to hang out in and heading down the alley two blocks to my best friends house.

Shadow
...
In the shadows I live, doing almost anything you need. Protecting you, even though you do not know I am there. Quiet resolve to help, discreetly keeping you safe from harm. Even against your better judgment.
In the shadows I live, solitary in my companions. Watching over you, passing long lonely hours to ensure your safety. If you knew, would you still want me here?
In the shadows I live, you are my officer and I am your personal servant. Your devoted follower. More than a bastum, more than a protector, and more than a superhero, I am your friend.

Rings of Growth

Layers of life
We grow in stages
Each ring adding strength
Each year adding wisdom
As you grow remember not to forget the insight that your elders carry.
