Fresh eyes see it right away

Fearless, ignorant, or trusting?

 

Fresh eyes see things differently. And they see the difference without even trying.

Because to them, it’s obvious.

Last night near bedtime, the 14 year old was getting a rare look at these blog posts. Right away he asked why the photo captions weren’t in the photos like they used to be.

Simplicity is Complicated

Simplicity is an elusive goal sometimes.

Mid Life Crisis?  Mid Life Celebration?
