{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo(s) – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by SouleMama.

I’m rather sure this is the first really good picture I’ve ever taken. It was taken in 1991 with a Kodak 35mm camera that I bought with money I made cleaning my Grandmother’s house on Saturday mornings. To put things into perspective she paid me 10 bucks to do the whole house, it took me a while to get enough money to pay for that camera!
I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again – we are fortunate to have some GREAT kids in our lives! Ryan, Rhys, Tyler, Adam, Zoe, Silas, Emerson – they are all great kids in their own way and sometimes – well, they are kids.
How do you top a stellar reader from the previous week? Invite sassy and quirky Melissa Crowe to spice up a poetry reading. The second reading of the series kicked off with five students reading their work, varying between fiction, non-fiction and poetry. After a brief introduction by instructor Jan Grieco, who had never met Crowe before the reading, Melissa enthusiastically engaged the crowd with humor, wit and tales of weird Uncles.
Crowe and the students then retired to Grieco’s classroom while to discuss the craft of writing. Melissa went through the steps in getting a poem published and engaged the students in conversation.
Next week Jen Blood will be making her first appearance at NMCC reading from her current hit novel All the Blue-Eyed Angels.
This little guy was posted right outside of the Northern Maine Community College entrance last fall. Yes, that’s a bat in broad daylight. He was small (note the size of the brick).

This is just a wee little guy, a few hundred pounds – some of them get well over 800lbs. Welcome to Maine 
I didn’t get to go to UD this year, as I had other commitments (the writing series I just posted about). But, one of the things I’ve long loved about UMPI is that damn windmill. I love windmills (I am seriously going to plant one behind my house someday just so I can lay under it and stare at it). Fortunately, one night before class this spectacular sunset appeared and I hopped in my car so I could get a better view (and pictures).
It took me a few shots to get the shutter speed right, but the blur of the blades didn’t take away from the spectacular shots. Must love Maine sunsets!
