Week in Review: Day Thirteen

(Sometimes it’s tough to feel at home in your own city.  Which is why I’ve given myself a challenge:  each day, for forty days, I’m going to find *one* thing I love about this place.  And then I’m going to tell you about it.  If you want to follow my journey, start here.  Today is Day Thirteen.)

A look back at the last seven days:

 

I did a lot of pondering, searching and stretching this week:

I looked for magic in the spiderwebs on my lawn.

I hiked a trail with a friend and questioned why I can’t stop photographing in black and white.

I stepped out of my comfort zone to shoot photos in color — and received an unexpected blessing from a stranger at Century Square.

On October 31 I watched the costume parade pass down the front walk and took time to be grateful for my very special neighborhood.

I found a moment of exhilaration on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

And as of today:  I’m ready for more.

Here’s to Week Three!
