Friends and Family

In my garden, this is where I find moments of silence, except for the bluejays, crows, red birds, blue birds, woodpeckers, whiny baby birds, kitty cats, chipmunks, squirrels, deer, bear and 3 cubs, my honey sawing wood or pounding nails, the water sprinkler, the two cell phones, my flip flops flopping, the thunder somewhere not too far away, and black walnuts falling off the tree hitting the metal roof, gun shots in the distance, sirens on the highway far below, the train blowing the whistle twenty two times, someone driving on our gravel road, this could go on and on.

It is between these sounds is what I am talking about. . .

That is where all of the universe is silent in awe contemplating how big, how small, how infinite.

Looking

In wandering around both in my mind and in many places

in time and space I see amazing things. I have a few glass balls

and magnifying devices in my little bag of tricks. If, at times, I

believe I am lost in the fog or something knocks me off of my

track I pull these items out and look at something I tried before

like last year; I found these tiny little flowers that grow in shady

places. I put a lens on my camera for close up shots, printed them

and generally played around with them.

Yesterday I receive some news about something very personal

that shook me to the  core of my being and brings tremendous

sadness. I am still trying to wrap my mind around this news. It is

not about me. So, this morning I played as you can see.

I have put my stories on hold, for now, just a bit. . .

Fiber art and photography experiments and working outside is

what I will do for now. . .

I read something interesting yesterday that I wanted to share with

all of you just in case you did not already know about this. . .

the link is below the photos. Just click on it and it will take you there.
