Ann Page Quirk passed this last day of summer…September 21, 2013. She was a beautiful woman — she was my mother and an artist, and she ALWAYS encouraged and supported all my artistic pursuits. In the last few months, when family health issues took center stage, she kept telling me I needed to keep going with my art photography… "Better hurry up…" she would say. I smile, as I hear her voice repeating this in my thoughts.

So, yes, it's time to heed my mother's advice… it's time to hurry up. In honor and celebration of my mother and the life she gave to me and my family, I embark on a new journey with the renewal of my Daily Walks Blog.
