Self-portraits

I have wanted to take a tripod and do this ever since I got my camera, almost two years now. This summer won't offer many more days as nice as this one. The sites are all within a 20 minute walk of my apartment.

Wow, Van. First of all, great pics.

The thing that really shocked me about the first two (second one especially) is that they look so much like the landscape of this dream I had, where I met you.

That is remarkable. We just keep resonating, don't we?

I had missed that dream post. I think it's fun that you found me hanging out in a field with a gang of male presences. **giggle**

I was thinking about you and your dream when I wrote chapter 2 today.

Eerie synchronicity. Male presences for all!

Read chapter two last night before my involuntary (passing out) bedtime -- and wow. Thing that struck me most is how you really seemed to get into the head of a 12-year-old girl. Of course parenthood probably doesn't hurt. ;)

So is Nettles Lark's screen name or something, and that's how they're connected?

Yes, Tendril signed her email "chrysalis," and in chapter 1 I mentioned that Lark received his dream catcher in the mail from his friend, Chrysalis.

Wow, thank you. I'm afraid it was done lightly (as all of this writing is being done), without much careful consideration. But I tried to use some intuition. Tendril has more gumption than I did as a pre-teen. I suppose I have some idea how my daughters must think in order to behave the way they do. She is not entirely like either of my daughters, though.

Got it. This fiction writing thing sure is daunting, and I admire what you're doing a lot.
