“Colorful Seahorse”

I know today is all about 911 and that most people will be talking about that horrific event in American History.  It is burned into my memory mainly because I had a little girl in kindergarten at the time and I can recall vividly rushing to her school with all of the other panicked moms.  Hugging my Muslim friends who had removed their Hijabs out of fear of attack.  It was indeed awful.  Explaining that to a child was beyond comprehension.

So today I take you back to my kindergarten year and good memories that I hope will make you smile on this day.  I grew up the first half of my childhood on Siesta Key, FL.  We did not have an ocean view as we were not wealthy, but a very modest home on one of the side streets.  Right next…

Wistful White Wedded Bliss

Another lily from my garden. Perfectly normal and totally beautiful to me. I love the soft white of these beauties and the way that there are spots of bright pink in the center. They almost remind me of freckles and it makes me smile. The sweet smell of an oriental lily is one of my favorite flower scents and this one was a joy to breathe deeply of. I hope you enjoy my flower and have a wonderful day. Namaste…..

“Never Forgotten”

As Summer comes to an end I find myself reflecting on all of the beautiful animals that have touched my life over the years.  I’ve lost birds, pigs, goats, cats, fish and dogs. For me the greatest losses have come with the beautiful Great Danes we have adopted in the last 12 years.  We bring in rescues.  They are an amazing breed with so much love and devotion. Unfortunately, their lifespans are very short averaging 7-8 years. Two left us due to bone cancer, which is common in this large breed, especially the males.  Our time with them was way too short, but the love they gave made it worth it.  Others made it to ripe old ages of up to 11 years.  I still think of all of them every day.  They are never forgotten…

I have been as busy as a bee painting commissions and creating new art!  I am on a roll and find that I do not have as much to say right now.  So we can just play show and tell….I will show you and you can tell me what you think. 🙂

but the depth at which he holds it.
