Everything was quiet around 6:45 a.m. The best part of the day for me to photograph the marina with no interruptions.
To the Moon and Beaver Island
Waiting for the perfect sunset, moon, or waking up to see a beautiful sunrise, is more exciting to photograph while traveling by boat.
Farewell June
We are blessed to be here. It’s a misty morning on Beaver Island, but a perfect way to say, farewell to June.
Inspiration: Nature
June, 2015 I captured nature.
I once read, to claim “Nature” as your source for inspiration as a n artist is cliché. Many of us are drawn to nature, and especially the outdoors in summertime. I love June. I believe, the artistic expression through nature is a gift. Cliché is defined in the contemporary art world by an artist and digital media communications professional, Christopher Healey, who has extensive experience with online development, marketing and public relations. Here is a link to his post. “A glib list of the top 10 clichés in Contemporary Art right now.”
A Lonesome Rose
I Painted Today. Pink Petals. This is it. I know it’s a photo, but it moves me like a beautiful painting. This rose is my June Rose. It comes from a very thorny stem with only two flowers. The lonely Rose, I’ll never forget you, even as you fade. Thorny stem, I’ll wait to see your next move, next season or next year. Maybe I’ll find a better spot for you to grow.
What’s for Breakfast?
I remember my first painting classes. When I was around 15 years old, I was invited to attend a ceramic class with my Step Mom to see if I liked it. This was a vessel she painted. Yes, I was feeling so happy to see it again sitting on the breakfast table last weekend, when we went up north to help my parents launch their boat for the season ahead. So, I couldn’t resist, I had to frame up my shot to capture the pitcher on the table, and the glow in the room. After all these years, she still has the woodland design pitcher with the yellow and brown mushrooms that she so skillfully painted. Hopefully some great memories of those classes we have yet to share. The peanut butter Cheerios tasted better than usual that morning! Thanks, Mom.
Hello June!
Springtime, another beginning, restart, refresh,
and take a deep breath to savor the moment.
Keep Going,

This is a very sad time.
Last week there was a tragic fire. I never imagined going to a funeral for our happy little baby, Morgan. I’m so heart-broken. He was my Sister’s Grandson, nine month old, Morgan, (my nephew Aaron’s baby) who perished in a tragic house fire, along with his brother, Mason, a 4-year-old, and their other Grandmother, Julia Earl, 57 in Michigan Center, Michigan one week ago. The children died of smoke inhalation.
Please pass this info on to others who would help support and pray for my Nephew, Aaron Tello and Lexi Earl who lost everything. Here is a link to the “gofundme” account. http://www.gofundme.com/qgg95w4
How many stages of grief are there?
Relentless pain, Sorrow, Anger, Numbness…and trying to stay strong and imagine babies with angel wings. Trying to write feelings regarding loss…this terrible, horrific, tragedy, is so confusing. Going in Faith is my pathway. Please save time today to pray for Aaron and Lexi, and all the families shocked by the terrible loss of life.
God Bless,

Devil’s Trail Beach on the Island of Virgin Gorda. These are giant boulders lined with sand and sometimes water from Devil’s Bay. Great spot for picture-taking, sunbathing and snorkeling. The color of the water is a stunning shade of turquoise.
Thanks for stopping by.
