abbey strand (with rain)

I didn’t actually even own an umbrella until I was 19 years old and was moving from Lubbock to a wetter locale for college. And then I went someplace even wetter for grad school, where I know for sure I kept umbrellas in my car all the time. But then I came back to Lubbock and probably don’t quite recall how to open an umbrella. And when I went to Scotland last year, I didn’t even take an umbrella with me. I’m not a total idiot – I had a waterproof coat with a hood and anyway how can you hold an umbrella AND use a camera?

st. giles and his arches

These kinds of arches are just about my favorite part of any cathedral I’ve ever been in. And I want to go ahead and apologize to everyone I’ve bumped into while I’m busy looking up instead of paying attention to where I am going.

as memory fades

Talk about a bleak message on a tombstone…but memories do fade, no matter how much you think they won’t.

“daddy” seems ominous in this context

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

Are you as creeped out as I am by seeing “Daddy” painted over there on that wall?
