There’s a day we’re born, day we pass; in between, there’s just a dash. What on Earth am I doing? What on Earth are you doing?

My dad was a kind, strong-but-gentle, hard-working man. He was quiet, intelligent, and generous. He was a reliable, steady presence in my ever-changing life. Through every season, he was my fixed reference point. I deeply miss his presence.

One year ago tonight, the day after we laid my dad to rest, I created this image. I plan to purchase a large print of it from to hang on the wall of my bedroom. Every night the lake will remind me of how he worked hard to fulfill his dreams. Every night the willow tree will remind me of how he stood strong through all of life’s challenges. And every night I will look with reverence at the stars and be reminded of how he was consistently there.

Today is my dad’s 80th birthday. He and my mom planted this willow, as well as the others around this lake—this lake that they dug and filled, on the farm they tended, where they lived full lives and raised their girls. The willow is one of the few trees that is capable of bending in outrageous poses without snapping. It not only survives, but also thrives in, the most challenging conditions. It withstands winds and winters, it sways strong in summer storms. It stands firm and stable, weathering the greatest of trials because its roots are strong, its trunk resilient. For a girl who grew up on a farm, it’s good to have a willow. Happy birthday, Dad.

In a time full of war, be peace.
In a time full of doubt, just believe.
There ain’t that much difference between you and me.
In a time full of war, be peace.

In a world full of hate, be a light.
When you do somebody wrong, make it right.
Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine.
In a world full of hate, be a light.

It’s hard to live in color, when you just see black and white.
In a world full of hate, be a light.

My sweet Grandma G lived to be 91 years old. Today would have been her 100th birthday. I still miss her. She was simply wonderful. As I stood and watched the Northern Lights dance across the sky with great fascination, I wondered if she ever had a chance to see them. She had traveled to every state in the U.S. except Alaska, so I would guess she had not. Before she passed, she mentioned to me on multiple occasions that she was longing to see the city and streets of gold. She would talk about it like she was packed and ready to go on the most fabulous vacation. She would say, “Angie, I just can’t even imagine how beautiful it’s going to be”. So, as I stood there wishing she was standing beside me watching this beautiful atmospheric phenomenon, I remembered that this was simply a glimpse of the spectacular beauty that surrounds her now and forever.

It was a bit worrisome to receive a tropical storm warning when I was pulling into the trailhead parking lot, but the rain and fog made for perfect shooting conditions. And, to my surprise, it was still bearable to stand in the pool at the base of the falls. I could have stayed here for hours shooting all of the individual falls and cascades. However, Zeta, the breezy fall color thief, had a different idea. Fortunately, I was able to make it back to my car before Zeta’s deluge.

Blessings, on blessings, on blessings, on blessings
If I still got breath in these lungs
That's all I need to get down on my knees
And be thankful for all that He's done

For my mama, for my friends
For Your love that never ends
Waking up today, I just gotta say
Thank You Lord!
