Any passion? You could modify the quote like this:

” If I’m going to Hell,
I’ll take pictures
and send them to you.”

But I’d rather go to Heaven and send you pictures…….

Porte Ponderings:

I was lucky enough to attend my nephew’s wedding yesterday.

Just as I started to play flute, ambulances and firetrucks sped past the venue. I paused and continued once the sirens stopped. Unbeknown to me they were headed to the caterer’s facility. I started to play and had to go through the selections twice before the ceremony started. Luckily the caterer was still able to provide service for the wedding (although a little bit later).

I’ve also found my new favorite editing distortion “spikey halo”.

  • Bride and Groom
  • Glad I asked the photographer to take one of me using my camera

Welcome to the first day of Fall.

Turkey vultures have been gathering on the beach getting ready to head south.

Today will be a high 27C feeling like 32C. Sunshine. A perfect day for a backyard wedding. Congratulations to Dustin and Ashley.

Porte Ponderings:

The last days of summer. My favorite time to be at the trailer. The temperatures are wonderful. The days are getting shorter. Everyone has returned to work or school and the trailer park has only the seasonal residents remaining.

Birds and butterflies have started their migrations. The orioles have been gone for almost a month. Turkey vultures are soaring on the currents above the beach. Hummingbirds now seen are just passing through. The harvest moon is shining bright only to be disturbed by a lunar eclipse. Northern lights have been shining in the wee hours.

I’ve been practising my flute for my nephew’s wedding on Saturday. I’m looking forward to the party. 😉
