I know...

the Pentax Q will never take pictures as sharp as my Nikon.

And there may be some noise due to the small sensor.

But,

it has a way of capturing

color

that is simply

stunning!

One of my favorite past times is collecting photos

of flowers in every color of the rainbow!

When its me and my camera and the hunt

for details within flowers

the world becomes quite

I am filled with peace

worries dissolve

and for at least an hour or two

(or maybe three or four)

I am calm and untroubled.

(Well, at least until I get a rumbly in my tummy

and have to get some lunch.)

Gettin diggi with it...

There is magic happening over at Deviant Scrap.

Come on over and check out the gallery...

you will be

inspired!

delighted!

or at a minimum,

tickled!

Here are two LOs I've created with FineCrafted's newest kits:

What Alice Found

Mixed Media Mayhem

I have not forgotten you...

dear sweet blog.

I've been busy.

With shopping (yummy).

And Playing at Polyvore.

And creating digital art (which I can not post yet).

But I have not forgotten you...

processed with Kim Klassen textures

I want to share...

some of my Project:

LIFE.

I had to put this photo in my PL book too!

 I am still

amazed

to have found such beauty among winter's brush.

keep seeing things

the way they

magic

of daily daydreaming.

Oh YES!

Its the truth...

I'm addicted to iPhone photography apps

(love)

(What's your addiction?)

Here's to seeing things:

THE WAY THEY AREN'T

Happy Daydreaming!

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you make time today 

for something you love

and

someone(s) you love!

Love...

is in the air

and

all around.

Feel love,

embrace love,

capture

love

in your heart.

Finding Balance...

Reflect on the month that has just gone by.

What lessons have you learned?

I

learned

I

need

to

have

balance

in

my

life

Created with Captivated Vision's January.

How can you use lessons learned in your art?

write about them 

(are you a poet?)

journal about them

(are you a mixed media artist?)

be inspired to take a photograph about them

(are you a photographer?)

Tell a story.

Tell your story.

"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy,

a quickening that is translated through you into action

and

because there is only one of you in all time,

this expression is unique.

And if you block it,

it will never exist through any other medium and be lost."
