Spring

Track Meet, Edwardsville

When I think of spring--and who isn't these days?--I don't just think of warm weather, and rain, and green. I think of taking pictures at Riley and Ellen's track meets. Every spring for the last nine years. But now that they're grown, and have left for college, this spring will be different. Still warm, hopefully. Still green. But something will be missing. Something dramatic and beautiful.
