I headed out for a second walk yesterday - out into a wet and ominously clouded night, and as I was crossing an intersection heading to the nearby nature area and the paved trail that runs through it, I had a thought. I've been in my suburb of some 70,000 people for 8 months now... … Continue reading Creepy

Late Night Winter Wonderland
I was trying to relax enough to sleep last night. Headphones were on and Loreena McKennitt was playing. I generally find her too mellow and low energy for daytime listening, but it's nice music for winding down. I came back to awareness for a moment and glanced around the room and noted how much light … Continue reading Late Night Winter Wonderland
Panther Creek State Park, Part 3
I went back to Panther Creek State Park the very next day after my first visit, when I found out the weather was supposed to be good, including sunshine. I'd been intending to stick to the lowland trails after the previous day's experience, and parked my car in one of the lower lots so I … Continue reading Panther Creek State Park, Part 3
Panther Creek State Park, Part 2
My first day, proceeding along the overlook loop trail and having passed to the other side of the hills and partially descended, I looked up and spotted a cave. 38 year old me thought 'that's cool,' took note of the terrain and thought it would be a good idea to keep walking. 8 year old … Continue reading Panther Creek State Park, Part 2
Transitioning To Fall
Took a walk yesterday morning and the light was lovely. The temperatures this week have felt like summer but the foliage knows what time of year we're heading into.
Potter’s Bridge
Getting a bit behind here. I've been dealing with heightened anxiety and depression this week, as well as having had the Excel training course Monday night through Thursday night, and it left me with less energy for recording events here. Wednesday morning I decided I wanted to go for a walk somewhere other than my … Continue reading Potter’s Bridge
First Day of Fall
I woke up this morning anxious about whether or not a spot would open up for the Excel training course. I did not want to have to wait until November or later to be able to proceed with contacting temp / recruitment agencies. Still, there was nothing I could do but wait to hear from … Continue reading First Day of Fall

My sister J and I wanted to get some exercise and so visited a park with a walking trail near my dad's place. The trail itself wasn't very long, but we discovered we could follow a gravel drive up a hill and ended up in a sprawling red dirt pit. It was a pretty neat … Continue reading More Tennessee Photos
Childhood Nostalgia
I'm neither highly sentimental nor highly nostalgic, but I had a moment of nostalgia today when I came across this giant, human-sized culvert. As a child I used to love culverts, and would get down on my hands and knees to peer inside, and even crawl inside if one was large enough to accommodate me. … Continue reading Childhood Nostalgia
Small Things
I went out for a walk this morning, still sleep deprived, in a state of disassociation and fight or flight at the same time, which would have been more interesting to experience if I'd had more focus. I walked to the spot where the railroad crosses the creek and sat and watched the water and … Continue reading Small Things
