Snow Days ...


Living in New England my entire life, you would think I would be used to snow. I love looking at it from indoors, just not driving in it. I do have a four wheel drive, so you would also think I would be fine with it, but each Winter brings on some anxiety.

I took this photo in my kitchen window during our last snowstorm. The visibility was just as you see it, and I wanted to see how this would look. As I am sure you have figured out by now, I love playing with photography ...It brings me great joy!


What anxiety are you trying to let go of in the New Year?

  1. I always used to get excited about the snow, when my son was younger I would take him out to build a snowman - I think I was more excited than him. It would also mean no trains so we would get time off work. Now my circumstances have changed and having different kinds of responsibility means that it gets in the way. We've not yet had our cold snap that leads to snow over here in London yet...can't say Im looking forward to it, hope it passes us by and the warmer weather rolls in. Enjoying your photography by the way!

    1. Always nice to hear from you, Amanda -- I am hoping your Winter is short lived -- I agree, playtime in the snow is fun, but when the daily routine kicks in, it usually causes complications ... Thanks for so much for your nice words ...

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?
