We here at Plum for the Road (PFTR) pride ourselves on being able to overcome adversity. A few days ago I saw something that would have made for a perfect blog post. While I was driving on Interstate 70 just west of Baltimore, I saw a rainbow. But unfortunately, because I couldn't safely adjust my camera while driving on the highway in the rain, I was unable to get a picture of it. Initially I lamented, "there goes that blog post." But upon further reflection, I decided, picture or no picture, the blog must go on! So...you'll just have use your imagination.
The rainbow was stunning; tall with a wide arch, each one of the colors was clearly visible. It seemed to span the entire sky. For a brief moment, another, smaller rainbow rested beneath it. A double rainbow! As it happens, I encountered this sight on the second day of the new year. Call me naive, but seeing rainbow on January 2 has to be a good sign for the year, right? I'm choosing to believe so. This mirage has left me feeling more hopeful than I have in ages.
Here's to a new year that has more pictures of hope than pictures of trench warfare!
In the spirit of hope and sharing, PFTR asks our viewers: what are your images of hope (real or imagined) for 2011?

In defense of the slow and the few
I think slowly, I speak slowly, I read slowly, and I'm not nearly as old as the author of the following essay.
Working on the Ending
Just in case you were wondering why so few words accompany my pictures.
