Every time leaving Mia and Corry's, like tonight, I've felt a tightness in my chest as if my heart is every-so-slightly breaking. Partly it is because I enjoy their strong feminine energy and will miss it. It's probably also because I've always tacked these visits on the end of an idyllic time away from the city, first with Brenna, then with Brenna and Marian, this time with Danny.

We're safely back in Guelph, overlooking photos and memories from a relaxing week away, and soon must slip back into our routines. I'll have much more to share in coming days but for now here is a wistful hello. Home is good, in its own way, though my heart also belongs to many places and people away from here.

It is luscious!

Idylls away are good, no matter the slight breaking of heart when they end. Indeed, I wonder if the slight heartbreak is part of what's good about them?

I think your photos of Danny reveal your love for him and his for you.

Thanks Pete. Your perspective on "the slight heartbreak" is helpful. :-)

I've never seen Danny take a bad pic.

In every image his eyes have that light, that spark. So incredible, so damn magnetic in such a mellow way. A welcoming instead of a demand.

This is gorgeous Van, as are you.

Grace peace and all the love you can take.

One of Danny's special traits is that he is never demanding, and his courtesy has glowed through his eyes and smile since the night I met him.

You were thought of much this week, and of course your name came up in conversation with M and C yesterday. I wish we had known them a little sooner so I could have taken you to visit them. Hopefully there will be other opportunities. Their place seemed so far away at first because its was an unfamiliar part of the province for me until this summer. But it only took us 70 minutes to get home from there last night. I hope to visit often. It has a peaceful, far-from-the-hustel-and-bustle feeling I know you would appreciate.

Hope you are well.

Much love,
Van

I am pretty well. Given my recent bits of insanity. lol

One day I'd love to return and visit M and C. I'm glad you've connected, it is such joy to find like minded beings who are open and lovely.

Love right back to you Van.

Buckets of it.

I have only sold one piece so far, but a lot of good comments/interest. So things could be worse : )

That is such a great photo. Yes, these transitions away and back to home... not simple.

Thank you. I missed you (I often think of you now when I notice or photograph small things), and hope you're well.

what a gorgeous picture of Danny, Van!! We always enjoy having you here and we are looking forward to seeing you again whenever you have the time to take a trip. In a way it's amazing. Corry usually feels very drained when people are around. She gets a headache and gets kind of cranky after a while, but not with you around.
We talked about it after you guys left how nice it is to have you as guests and it seems it doesn't really matter who is coming with you, whether it's your kids or your friend, they all seem to have this very gentle, friendly, caring energy. We love you guys..:-)

The love is mutual. I'm so grateful for the time spent with you. It only took us about 70 minutes to get home on Friday (by way of Tavistock), and made me realize how easy it would be for me to drop over once in a while. I do so love country drives. We ended up staying in Guelph until this morning, went on the Fergus-Elora Studio Tour yesterday. Eventually we need to get moving to take him home.

Did that "thing" ever show up in your mail?

I checked my box this evening and there was an "envelope at desk" notice, so I will have to pick it up tomorrow. It's most likely the item from you, as I'm not expecting anything else.

Woo hoo! Let me know for sure.

Yes, the fall colours reached their peak the last couple of days we were up north. I picked an especially brilliant tree for the background.

Great photo. But personally, I think that men with great faces like this should not be covered by such thick beards.

But that is just me.

You must realize it's impossible for me to respond objectively to that comment. Danny is beautiful.

Oh I don't think he is NOT beautiful. I am just biased.
