Reflecting on a door. I love old buildings. Some buildings, I'm sure, were admired from the moment they were built.

Atop the World
How's the view from atop the world? How's the view when everything is going your way? A smile on your face? A kind word on your lips? A light shining for all to see? How's the view when you're all alone? How's the view when life is caving in? Do you still radiate the light [...]

Graceful Roanoke, Virginia
Roanoke, Virginia fits the definition of Graceful. What do I mean by that? Well, I participate in a weekly photo challenge. And the theme this week happens to be "graceful". However, my archives don't contain photos of swans, ballerinas, or princesses. Those happen to be the things I think about when I hear the word graceful. As I [...]
