Rosie Outlook

  Being optimistic is not always easy. Staying positive is not always a matter of focus. Training my brain as an artist to see things in a different light, rearranged, contrast from dark to light, and opposites, can have a healing effect. Immersing myself into my garden around the bees and weeds is important to me, and canContinue reading “Rosie Outlook”

Anchors and Moments

  When I started this blog, I had so many ideas and not so much time. Taking time to design anything is always a process that is very time consuming. Sometimes, just after finishing a new jewelry piece I think to myself, well that won’t take a lot of time to recreate. The truth is, I amContinue reading “Anchors and Moments”

Even though this shot is monochromatic, itContinue reading “Shades of Celebration at Northport”

Back to School Connection

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Connected.”   Starting out in the world as a first-grader can be frightening, but not in Germany. Parents help their children make the transition from kindergarten to primary school more enticing. They give them a “schultuete” or school cone. The large cone is decorated and filled with candyContinue reading “Back to School Connection”

Nature’s Jewel

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “From Every Angle.” The tiny single flower caught my eye along side of the dock. I’m glad I took the time to photograph this. Looking forward to seeing how it’s changing, or if there are more, later in September. ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ After further research, I decided toContinue reading “Nature’s Jewel”

Makes Me Smile

Is there one word to describe feeling happy and sad at the same time? The last day of August brings to mind how very short the Summer season is in Michigan. While I’m feeling melancholy that my favorite season is almost gone, I pore over all the Summer months of photos to get a sense of time goneContinue reading “Makes Me Smile”
