A window into this person’s world.

Kind of ironic I ran into this shot while editing this morning. It reminded me of last night with my best friends. One of which just had his dog pass unexpectedly. When we get together, he would always bring his dog, and my other best friend also has a dog so they would play and keep each other company when we get together each week.

Last week she knew something was wrong when he didn’t show up with his buddy. This week was even more pitiful. She followed him in, sniffing him relentlessly trying to pick up an essence of her old friend. She doesn’t understand. She spent the rest of the night looking down the hall for him.

Each of us has a lot of windows. I don’t open many of mine too often. But at other times I guess I over share with both windows open and the top down for a full view of the vast empty space between my ears.

Every now and then I feel like I find a nugget of inspiration and success. Be it here in the blog or a photo series I do.

I’ve always driven with my windows open. I’m not an air conditioner type person. I grew up without it at home or in cars, so I guess that’s why I tolerate heat better than most. I’m driving around in 90-100-degree weather with the top down many summers.

Today looks like a hot one so the top will be down on my afternoon jaunt. Speaking of which, it is time to get motoring.
