Looking Back
reflection in the mirror
of what has been
but never really was
is it an addiction
to fading memories?

neighborhood of colors
Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones. What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman. To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children. To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool. To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace. Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI

You are so right. That particular photo was an intersection on a road traveled by Gene's father during his years building his business in Aurora. The road led to some of the parts suppliers in the Springfield area. Of course, we used the road for the same purpose in the late 1970s. Later we lived just about a couple of kilometers north of it and would drive it frequently. It was really fun to see the changes. namaste
