Ice covered walkways and white frosty limbs…
Sun sparkling, at play through the crystal trees…
Diamonds glisten in the warmth and drip to the earth’s floor.

Inspirations~Winter’s Gifts
Inspirations***Snow***
It is still a magical time for me…that time when the first snowflakes begin to fall.
Each one silently floats to the earth until a thin covering of white touches the ground, the porch, and the trees…As if someone was sifting powdered sugar over the earth.
The lines of the outdoors becomes visible with the sugary coating…the tree limbs, the bushes, the cars, and the old bicycle behind the shed.
While the indoors feels warm and cozy…a safe haven from the elements.
It is a time of quiet, of reflection, of contentment…a time of being home.
***What gives you a time of reflection, which in turn feeds your art…or your life in general?***

Family Fridays~Early Morning Sunrise*
Standing in front of the french doors, looking across the deck through the bare forest trees over to a distant hill…I see the sun rise this morning. *
At first a beautiful rosy glow crosses the eastern sky, changing to a paler warm orange…
Until the light disperses the color, and the sun finally peeks over the horizon.
Thinking about the arrival of 2013, I assess the joys and challenges of this past year.
This reflection provides reminders…,
a possible change in perspective…
a sense of renewal…
And, taking a breath,
I decide I can slowly begin moving forward with courage…
peeking over the horizon into the New Year…
*Do you have a sense of newness as the New Year begins?–For your life, family,or creative pursuits?
