Jesse, jesse.

Jesse the cat. Featured a few posts ago in an exciting tale of cat vs. wild. There is something enchanting about this little guy...and I am usually not a fan of the feline variety. I was walking by him a couple of days ago and he jumped up in the air (I am talking a few FEET in the air) and slapped my hand with his paw as if to give me a high five....and then kept walking on his way. How strange and humanly.

For those of you who are interested in adopting a cat of your own, I would encourage you to browse through this website. They need a home!

Long time, no post.

So I haven't been completely negligent about updating this blog on PURPOSE. I like to consider this as a forum to post public commentary as well as photos - so when my iPhone/camera was...cough,cough...lost - I was without means to capture the scenery around me.

But fortunately I have a new phone. With a camera that almost compares. So I am back in action, back with photos and explanations of my feelings towards said photos, amongst other helpful (maybe?) resources for my 5 official followers and all of the others, if you do exist.

I promise to be more diligent about updates going forward. But without further ado, a few photographs:

Danny & I made it to Penn's Landing last weekend. It's surprising how easily one can find peaceful places in the city to retreat to. Bartram's Garden. Penn's Landing. Fairmount Park (peace in this park is sectional - there are certainly places here that induce fear rather than any internal oneness). We sat on the pier and watched the sun set over the Ben Franklin Bridge. Over the WW bridge too. What a perfect spot!

What would we do without these places? Some of us are fortunate to have a roof, or a hiding spot away from the noise and chaos that is unavoidable within the urban landscape. But what about those who don't? I think it's necessary...to seek out these peaceful outlets. To be able to actually listen to yourself think.

It's surprising what you'll hear. Try it!
