AC: Sticks


One day a friend picked up two sticks
and 
began to balance one on top of the other

it was fun to watch
a bit like juggling
simple pleasures are so good

~
I hope you all have fun visting one another 
to see how "sticks" inspired each of you:

and
I will add you to the list

AC: Daily


daily
she walked the earth
breathing in the vitality of life

daily
i walk the woods
noticing it's offerings

like the fairy wreath of ice crystals above


this week
lovely crystalline snowflakes graced our world

and 
piled in sensuous ways


for me
a bit of art
and 
time in nature
are daily bits of grace

that nurture me

Lollipop



this little guy showed up the other night while doing my evening sketch

I think he is content with a lollipop in hand

~
I have been photographing teeny tiny snowflakes in my forest
so easy to be smitten with them!


 
lovely day to you

Lady in a Green Hat


I've taken to small night sketches lately. 
Creating little characters, I call them evening meditations. 
Sketching brings me present, 
stills my mind and inspires contentment. 

Often they are characters that I think would be fun to meet.

Pink Cheeks


this last week 
these snowy nights and days
I have taken up a tiny sketchbook 
creating tiny characters

I like to call them evening meditations

Bakasana



yoga with his woodland friend





we have a family of fox in our area
I rarely see them
though one night i looked out my window
just in time to see one on my steps 
under the full moon light

with grace
it flew down my steps 
then my snow path
across my frozen pond
disappearing into the forest

all illumined by the full moon
~
I like letting my world influence my art
