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...

Letters Across The Miles

LETTERS ACROSS THE MILES  Dear Jennifer, I am quite excited to be sharing this journey of "Old Fashioned Letter Writing" (online) with you ... It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles". I think this is the "Push" that we both needed to jump right in! Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
