Saying Goodbye

One of the toughest parts of being an educator is that you form a bond with these kiddos for about 9 months and then you say goodbye. Some of them come back and bug you lovingly, but others you never see again, and all you can do is wish them the best. There will be those that will come back and tell you they're doing great. There are those you see on tv, getting arrested or with a mugshot. There are those who pass away and you wonder what would have become of them if they were still around.

This year's kiddos are especially dear to me. I have to admit, even though they gave me a hard time, as all kids do, this bunch was absolutely amazing. I'm really going to miss them very much. If I happen to leave town, theirs is one graduation I would fly back to see.

Thanks for the memories, kiddos!

Dark Skies

Pretty sky!

Dust Storm

The clouds rolled into town today, after I had just told my mom that it would not rain at all. First of all, it had been 108 degrees outside, then the clouds roll in and it starts to rain. To make things worse, the winds picked up and we had dust devils. By the time I got the camera out and to a safe location, they were dissipating.

Bright light!

Again, light. I love seeing the electricity in the bulb. Isn't it amazing?

Cascade of Light

I like light. That sounds odd coming from someone who likes darkness, but sometimes, in the dark, a single ray of light is beautiful.

I need to keep this short. I have a lot of work to do! C-ya!

Light at Night

I tried to take a picture of lightning. One day I will. It is my goal. Unfortunately, it didn't happen tonight. I just took pictures of the flash of light behind the clouds. Nonetheless, it's pretty.

Simple Art

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted, but I'm starting to get swamped with work and end-of-year things, I don't know how many times I'll be able to post. However, I'm going to keep trying.

Here's a picture my hubby made out of confetti. Isn't it awesome? He did others, but this one was by far the best. He's talented in so many ways. Here's confetti boy!
