Whimsical Wednesday ...


I thought I would post this picture because butterflies always remind me of my Mom ~ I am not sure if she started liking them, or I just associate them with her - But either way, we both find them quite beautiful. They are able to be so free. They give us joy just flying around us, landing beside us so we can admire all the many colors upon their wings. I think this is what made photography so alluring to me, being outdoors and one with nature. Is there a place where you can escape to - to watch nature unfold infront of you?

    Thank you, Kanchan - I have to admit, this picture is not mine - I wish I could take credit for it, but it was so peaceful I wanted to include it in this weeks post. Thank you for telling me the meaning of butterflies, I did not know this ...

    Hi Elizabeth - Always so great to hear from you - Yes - Finding a quiet place is wonderful, once you find it - Sometimes it is my office, sometimes it is outdoors, sometimes it is down at the local pond - I have a few places, tell me when you find yours!

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.
