Windows, so important in our daily lives. Often neglected, still, they reflect and offer up a wonderful array of visual delights. I hoped the light wouldn’t change before I captured the beautiful yellow flowers. I was granted my wish.
I know I am not alone in my joy in the simplicity of simply enjoying the creativity in the world that surrounds me.
What have you seen out of your window recently that had a WOW factor.
Hope your week-end is full of discoveries, you are in my thoughts, always and forever.

PL Calendar day 14 – Being considerate of others is just as important as what works for you.
The fascination of a door. I loved that the lace curtain still hung on the door.
This doorway was further away, however, I couldn’t resist a capture so I could revisit later.. Had someone built a fort for the children to enjoy, or… was it an old structure, repurposed. The character of places found when exploring other landscapes far from the city. Absolute heaven.
Eartha my travelling companion, shares in the delights of taking that secondary road, the quest for adventure, the joy of a discovery. We did have a final destination and arrived soon enough. But, not before we found another gem.
The past is part of our present.
PL calendar day 16
Avoid being careless or overconfident.
Even though you have put your best effort into doing something you still may have made some mistakes. That is why it is important to always work with a prayerful mind.
Why would someone put an old tire there?

PL calendar day 10
When you are not having fun, could it be because you re being lazy? Sometimes you feel blue or can’t seem to find the joy in doing anything. At times like this, just get up and move your body or work your mind to the fullest extent.
If sadness and lack of hope knock I your heart – try to do something positive for someone else.

Happy May 5th. Bom dia!
Another mixed media done for demo. The idea with a demo of new and old products is to show artists, budding new crafters and seasoned expressionist how to use some of the newer products that are arriving on the market daily. Yes you an see YouTube videos but a video isn’t something you can touch, feel and at the same time, have knoledegable staff who can and will help if you have questions.
I know that there are many who prefer to deal online for supplies, and if you know the product, and the supplier, have a particular way of working, and are not going to deviate from what you know.. then go for it.
My experience is that when I am in a creative mood, or am working on an idea, I want and need my inventory handy. Part of the creative process in mixed media is to be open to new possibilities. The demo -before- during prep.. sometimes, what is down could be up =^_^= Abstract work, is lived in the moment.
The beauty of abstract mixed media… given the same products, no two pieces will come out the same. How perfect is that. We are all unique … talented and beautiful.
PL calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there, you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come of it.
My bargain tulips are blooming…
I took a chance, and brought them home and gave them some love. Love is a powerful gift. Share your gift with the world. PEACE begins within.
A reminder, if you are in the Ottawa area and want to see some amazing dogs, and mingle with a dog crowd. Visit the market today for the special event, to showcase, our dog population. games, fun, prizes, special, canine treats.
Enjoy the blessings of another day, share a smile, rejoice in the gift of life.

Thursday doors, how much I have missed being able to participate in this series. My hankering for a door brought me to my desk to look through my photos
An open doorway to another time and place? A place tended and serene.
A romantic hide-a-way where one can laze the day away. In this one, fall is in the air, and the weather holds that rustic charm of warm colours and textured wood grains.
To so many of us, who chase the many varied and interesting doors, and doorways. They are passages to hidden or unknown “adventure” There is always a story to be found when one enters through a new door.
Garden gates are another temptation. How many of us have had wonderful conversation in a nursery or greenspace over the admiration of floral and fauna.
We need only look around at all the different ways we use and display doorways, archways, gateways. They are the subject of stories, and many are the central focus in a photo-story. To the door chaser, they are a work of art, not in themselves, but their presentation.
I know that spring is outside t.he door, but my mood this morning appears to be mellow. I am drawn to fall colours, and the charm I’ve found in my library of photos that I have collected.
Two doorways, two very different responses.
When we wake up in the morning, we get to decide which will be the doorway we will use to begin the day.
The choice is ours.
PL calendar, day 25
Pay Careful attention without overly straining yourself or taking things too lightly.
Having the right amount of tension in your life allows you to notice many things, and that will help you to better express yourself.
