As the year ends and I am pondering what 2013 might hold, here are some pictures of my walk through Narnia over the past week (we got a bit more snow since the White Christmas). This will be my only post for this week as I am processing the year close-out and also working on […]
A solo Christmas can be a bit murky at times, ranking up there with Valentine’s Day as movie after movie re-enacts the notion that within a span of 24 hours families reunite, love shows up at the front door, and financial and health problems miraculously get resolved. In real life, there was jarring news that […]
“Love is the highest vibration on earth.†~ Sonia Choquette, Your Heart’s Desire I like to find hearts on my meanderings around town. “In a way, every beat of our heart is a mini wish that circulates and communicates the nature of our own subtle energy and our heartfelt intentions†~Paul Pearsall, Wishing Well Sometimes […]
In keeping with my lepidopterist/entomologist month I am immersing myself in the life of Margaret Fountaine. She was one fascinating and gutsy lady (the kind of company I like to keep). I am reading her (edited) diary and a biography about her simultaneously; each fills in blanks the other doesn’t, so it’s a cool exercise. […]
Our drawing ‘final’ was a day in the Zoology Department at the Field Museum of Natural History. We were greeted by Entomology Collections Manager James Boone, who is featured in this lovely video. We spent two hours just oohing and aahing over the drawers we were given access to, and took many photo records. Luna […]
May and June were abuzz with dragonflies, which has inspired me for new projects. I love the blues, such as this Northern Bluet Damselfly and the Twelve-spotted Skimmer. You can appreciate all kinds of insects this weekend and through September 21, at the BUGS!!! Exhibit. Tonight marks the first evening of Bug Fest—a tribute in […]
I’m transcribing notes from my weekend events, but the combination of freelance work and Marvels events preclude me from having that ready for you today. Galas and opening parties are fun to make time for, but it does cut away from other activities, such as blogging. So you’ll have to contend with a few snapshots […]
I have many spring pictures to share but haven’t sorted them yet. Someone demanded lap time, which I combined with research. A lunch meeting warranted an excursion to the city. Which included browsing art supply stores (and chocolate sources!) Life is full and fabulous. 🙂
After a recent snowfall I was inspired by OrangeMarigold to look at the tracks that had been made. It’s such fun to see the patterns in people’s shoe soles. Spring is on its way, but there might be a few dustings before the full bloom. My first Crocus sighting on Sunday! 🙂 Fortunately it’s been […]
Last weekend I walked to PerficalSense Studio for an opening and saw these lovely icicles. My fingers got quite frosty so the camera stayed in the bag for the rest of the evening. You can peruse some very vibrant digital art on PerficalSense Studio’s Facebook page. Stay warm this weekend!
