Turn Back Time
Today was a special day I didn’t really keep a tab on. My blog account turned 11 today! This account has been around only since 2011. You can find my poor, oft neglected first blog here. I love my virtual space: it shows me how much I have grown in thought and words. If I…

There is something about love that transcends words. Take music for instance; even without words it makes us feel things. Have you had friends who don’t speak in the same tongue as you do? Coming from the land of 18 major spoken languages with over 1600 regional dialects for company, I still get a lot…
On Guard!
This little guy was a bit scared of us, but he sure was fascinated by my camera. These little pups get chased a lot by the big bullies, so he seemed to be guarding his fortress. I think he made for a pretty picture!
