Spring Therapy

What do you do when your world is painted with a tube of dull and 

the temps outside are frigid?

Seek spring therapy in the form of tulips?

Hmmmm...sounds good to me!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Urban Stories

I've been using the cold, grey days of winter to catch up on some photo editing -

street photography, life in motion.

As always, I'm interested in design, creative framing,

 and storytelling juxtapositions.

Happy creating to you!

Unexpected!

Sometimes we find beauty in the most unexpected places...

beside the garage, within the rocks -

a fresh dusting of snow upon autumn remnants. 

Happy creating to you!

Shall I tell you that the temperature was frigid,

the wind pelted stinging snow crystals unrelentingly at a rakish angle,

plus my parka and a ton of winter clothes made me look fat?

No, forget I mentioned any of that.....

instead just imagine a winter day upon a hill filled with snowy wonder

and a touch of Lensbaby magic,

please do!

Happy creating to you.

Now head over to my friend, Caroline,
 for some wonderful inspiration!

Shadow Play

Fixating on somber winter light, dancing shadows,

 minimalism, and abstract design today.

A fanciful world of softness, strength, curves, and lines.

Happy creating to you!

Hello 2015!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a year full of wonderful creations.

Through the Lensbaby Blog Circle: December

The last three weeks haven't been particularly productive

 around our house due to the flu (guess that flu shot didn't work too well).

We have gotten a lot of reading done though!

My reading has ranged from macro photography books,

 to floating down the Mississippi river,

to photography of Lake Superior,

plus some haiku. 

But, now I'm back to studio work on an elaborate bead project for a show

 and some photography of a beautiful Sphinx moth.

Life is good.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

See you in the new year.

Due to the busyness of the season,
our Lensbaby Blog Circle is a circle of two this month.
So head on over to my talented friend, Caroline Jensen,
for some winter inspiration!

Extra-Ordinary Spiderweb!

The fog rolled in and stayed all day -

quite unusual to have fog this late in the year

and very unusual to see it last all day!

On this unusual day I found an extraordinary

 spiderweb behind the garage's drain spout.

An original creation, or more likely a time-worn creation,

its asymmetry was embellished with the dampness of the day.

Wishing you extraordinary finds in your corner of the world!
