This picture is about: Piecing together
computerized visual art
memory fragments from my childhood
Sliding Memories
Remembering the brief rapture of stolen moments
between after school chores and suppertime
cold wind on my face
exhilaration of speed
rushing headlong, down the snowy hill
climbing up again, only to fly downward once more
each time the upward climb becoming slower and s l o w e r
then the call to supper
with red rosy cheeks and chaffed wrists
from snow clotted mittens
we would rush indoors to the parlor wood stove
remove our felts from snow clogged boots
and hang our melton snow pants nearby to dry
in readiness for another winter's day

me and my sled at our sliding hill... long ago

A friend told me a story about a family in the area, and I thought I'd share it- along with my first photo on this group. It just seems fitting for the season.
A man was fighting prostrate cancer as the holidays were approaching. His family decided to do something special for him. Their 10-acre ranch includes a beautiful, 150-year-old pecan tree. Over 60,000 LED lights later, they created a display that continues on, 12 years after it began.
A beautiful tribute that made me think about what's important and what this season is all about. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I know it's just a tree. But it has a 5 foot diameter trunk. Which means that it is at least 200 years old. So just think of the stories it has to tell.
