Hey! It’s not easy throwing a catchable friz while taking a competent pic—even for a lifetime photography and frisbee enthusiast!

Do you have special spaces that you visit whenever possible? I do. Sutherland Park is a large water reservoir/park—rather like a water tower but underground—in Sioux City. My friends and I spent 1,000s of hours there as I grew up. We tossed, played music and sang, watched shooting stars, or just gazed at the beautiful, rolling hillsides and sundowns..

I still walk there daily when in town, which has been a lot in recent years as my parents age in place with grace (and lots of bridge).

Daughter Elsa also tosses a mean frisbee, and is always game to hang out at the Park. Nearly 50 years of memories ride on that disc, and in the air, and I throw out some extra gratitude for life, friends, family, and preservation.
