Proof of Life
I know it’s tiny and hard to see, but can you guess what this is? Though there are water droplets on the back side of this leaf, that biggest drop-looking thing is an empty, clear, egg case. The black spots are the eyes, and the yellow smudge behind it is the caterpillar body.

Goodbye to the Golden
First off, don't get me wrong - my youth is very far in my past (decades ago, with an "s" at the end of the word "decade" for emphasis). So, in a literal sense, I've left my childhood behind a long time ago. However, recent circumstances have caused me to revisit not only the "scene of the crime," but walk through the past, in a matter of speaking, and it felt like I was living through - and then leaving - my childhood once more.

Owl Love You Forever
Last year, after my husband and I walked at a pond in our neighborhood, I suggested we go into the small brewery across the street. A lit Edison lightbulb string, attached to the black iron fence, was an invitation to passersby. "We support local businesses. Let's check it out. You can get a beer, and I'll take sips of it." Bars and breweries are not to his liking, but he reluctantly agreed.

ARCTIC BLAST
It's January. It's Winter. It's that time of the year when it snows. Except, snow rarely descends and covers the Dallas, Ft Worth area. Yet, the area is known for its occasional Arctic blast ice storms. Arctic blasts with ice storms are dreaded. Snow is a hundred percent better than sleet and ice.

The Last Sunset. Honorable Mention in Through the Lens Challenge.
It's a little blurry and not the best composition. The sky it captured was not the most spectacular. But this snapshot has become one of my most favorite. When I look at it, I go back to an autumn evening a quarter of a century ago.

Resurgence
When the Covid pandemic evolved into high speed in March of 2020, I was taken somewhat by surprise. I was working full-time at an elementary school when, on the afternoon of Friday, March 13th following school, a meeting was called and we were told we should pack anything we needed to take home with us that day (plants, books, laptops, and personal items including food, etc.). The school's doors were being closed until further notice and though employees would be expected to work from home if needed and were essentially on call, they would remain home until further notice. It was speculated by many, at the time, such would end in mere weeks and we would then resume full operation. Regardless, employees not being in the building for a few weeks would give the maintenance staff time to clean and sanitize each building. Little did we know as we packed our things nothing could have been further from the truth for the worst had not begun.

in the alley are the things hidden. Content Warning.
Quick Note: the photo has been edited. Nothing major except changing it from color to black and white. Over a year ago, during a rather unseasonably warm winter's day, I went to play tourist with a friend in a nearby beach front town. There, I passed this alley, something I had done a hundred times before. Before this day, I merely glimpsed down it, and not once can I recall seeing anything that made me do a double take. If I did, I never took a picture of it.
