Surprising Spring

Our spring arrived very late this year.  

Thus, we are just now enjoying flowering fruit trees and trillium filled woods.

Recently, I was thinking about how spring always surprises me,

since it comes in like a pointillist landscape

with its unique greens and lacy leaf tracery

and in no time...

poof,

it morphs into the look of summer,

all bold greenness and solid canopies.

How can it change so fast?

Anyway, here's an early spring image

 made before our world turned incredibly green.

A quiet backwater of swollen creek and soft warm light.

Hope you're enjoying beautiful weather,

spring or not!

Life is crazy busy here,

so comments are off.

Auto Love Sequel

As promised, the remainder of the images from the classic car show -

more reflections, shiny chrome, and color!

I would have never dreamt that I would find cars so fascinating,

but these beauties are another matter!

Wishing all mothers a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow!

Enjoy, I know I will.

Once Upon a Time...

Today, I'm a guest contributor at the Mortal Muses site.

 My post is titled, Once Upon a Time...

I hope that you can stop by and say, Hi!

Wishing you wonderful light
and happy times creating.

April Winter

How's your spring looking -

colorful, flowery, green?

Ours is looking mighty wintery.

These images were made on April 19!

It's beautiful, but......

snowstorms in April???!!!

Wishing you a perfect, creative spring,

in whatever manner that comes to mind.

Auto Love

We are snared in the grips of the never-ending-winter. 

More snow fell again this week!

This predicament leaves me craving color, and warmth.

So, I've dug into the dusty vaults of my computer to finally edit images

 from our area's annual summer classic car show.

Without further ado, please enjoy with me...

gorgeous color,

fascinating form,

intriguing reflections,

and

glittering chrome.

More classic cars to come in an auto love sequel.

A Wish

Wishing you warm spring days and

a blessed Easter!

P.S. all Easter decorating thanks to our lovely daughter, 

who was home from college for Spring Break.

Spring Dreams

I called Ms. Spring and left a message,

 "Please come to visit and stay a while.  I miss you so!"

I haven't received any reply.

So, I continue to cross country ski on the snow (no lie)...

looking at white fields, forests, and frozen lake.

But, I daydream of spring....

And, hear the florist's shop calling my name.

And, purchase small tulips.

And, revel in their delicate form.

And, dream of spring.

Wishing you a colorful and creative spring!

Chained

Currently I'm chained to my studio...well, figuratively anyway.

I'm busy working toward a bead show deadline.

Coming up for air in a couple weeks.  

See you then.

In the meantime, happy creating!

P.S. Check out this link which gathers together

numerous links showing how to convert

 a purse into an attractive camera bag.

I need to try this!
