Peony Profile ...


I am raising my wine glass to the beginning of this Spring like weekend ~ I often wonder if there is place on earth, that it is like Spring, all year long? I love weather with a nice breeze, sunshine and no humidity ... Please introduce me to the real estate agent that could find me a home in this make believe place - Which leads me to my photo that was chosen for today - the Peony. I often desribe them as Pink Snowballs! I love all their layers of petals ... Beautiful color, love the fullness of this flower, they bring a smile to my face ... Enjoy!

    What can I say - simply amazing! I love the angle in this photo! It shows the layers of the flower so well! And you are right, they do look like pink snowballs! I want to stuck my nose into that beauty and smell it!
    I think the New Zealand has all year round spring climate, but they also have some poisonous bugs and other creatures, so maybe not :)

    Thank you so much, Sonja ~ I always try to catch an angle other than the average one ~ I try to make every shot, unique ~ They have a wonderful scent ~ I am not sure if the bugs would be worth the climate :(

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
