Reflections on Samhain and Ancestors
Blessed Samhain to all those who celebrate it. May your journeys to the other realms be effective and protected. May your Ancestors of the Blood and of the Spirit warm you and inspire you with their love.

Inspiring Elegance
I have no idea what I want to say about this picture, except that I would love to have such style and grace even when wearing the most ridiculous of hats.

Back from the Magical Desert
