For a long time, I stored my acrylic paints in this box in which I received flowers from Rhonda and Lindsey. I liked the way the colors looked in a box with the slogan “The Art of Fresher Flowers.”

Current Photo Friday theme: Disastrous.

Lower Manhattan

Having lost a good camera in NYC in 1998, I took inexpensive ones on subsequent trips. Having this photo come out blurred and dark as a consequence of that never mattered to me. The photo matched my state of mind.

Current Photo Friday theme: Passage of Time.

Two decades after my father gave this to his father,
he got it back when my grandfather died.
Two decades after that, it became my brother’s when our father died.
I already know the next two Cochrane men who will inherit it:
my father’s grandson and great-grandson.

Current Photo Friday theme: Best of 2007.

My “Best of 2007” is a repeat of the first photo I posted this year.
My New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day were just a taste of a year
that ended up being full of more of the same–friendship, fun,
good times, strange times, accomplishments to feel good about,
disappointments to grow from,
things that made me think and laugh and cry.
It’s been a crazy busy and unbelievably fast year.
I’m thrilled to still be here,
still celebrating every day, even the rough ones.
