I don't think I've ever done a Sepia Saturday using my own pictures, but here goes. I see myself as a somber four-year old and wonder, "What is that little girl thinking?" My eyes seem to hold too much knowledge and wisdom for someone who'd been such a short time on earth, this time around at least. I see myself as a seemingly confident about-to-be high school senior, a cheerleader, a school leader, involved in a multitude of activities, practicing at love and chomping at the bit to go to college and have more freedom (albeit with my parents footing the bill). Now I look at her, her youthful exuberance so plainly showing, and I wonder, "If she knew then what I know now, would she have made choices differently?" Would she still believe in happy endings, that one man could be the love of a lifetime?

My shadow shots, hope you can visit, thanks!
Mine this week is a heron casting its shadow near the marina.

Have a great Sunday.
“Draw near, child,” the spectre said.
“Do not faint with fear or dread.
I bring good news from afar,
News from planet, sun and star;
News to make the timid sing;
News to give the broken wing
Healing that will make it fly
Like an arrow through the sky.
So, my child, please have no fear,
Hear my tale—draw near, draw near!”

I once had an enigma. It wasn't as unpleasant as I'd anticipated.
Have a nice day, Boonie
