Thanksgiving Flower

Cut flowers still are the best gift. So full of life and light. Reminds me that spring is happening somewhere in the world and that makes me happy. It's pretty easy to make me happy. A few kind words, a look with loving eyes, a bouquet of fresh flowers. Simple pleasures.

Sam Shuttle To Wake

Must do more dancing; spinning, wiggling, sashaying, arms akimbo, toes tapping and head loose on the neck. Feeling the winter body tensions and need to release. Time to learn how to make a playlist on itunes and run the ipod through the old receiver and speakers. I am still playing in the zone between new and old technology. Still enjoy my records spinning on the turntable but love the ease of spinning the dial on the ipod.

60 and 60 More

You say it's your birthday. Happy Birthday to all those baby boomers who have made it to the 6th level. Actual age is being recalculated by how you feel, not how many years you've been on the planet. So act accordingly.

Sunset with Shapely Trees

Two for one, now that I'm back on wifi with my old laptop. Someday I may be able to ride above the confusion and disillusionment with modern technology. All these images floating in my head and limited ways to let the world see them. Enjoy.

Through the Window Abstractions

I can look out the same window hundreds of times and see something different each time. Is that the artist eye? Are we trained to see things differently or is it a natural leaning? Are musicians more sensitive to the nuance of sounds? Dancers more aware of gestures? Each of us has a gift of this sort,  unwrap it and honor your talents.

Tender Moments
Danced for hours at the Inn last night, so crowded we had to elbow our way to a dance floor. Been up and cooking all day. Trying new recipes with a new partner in an old kitchen. Sun is bright, air just a bit crisp. Neighbors out and giving appreciations of thanks. Happy doesn't begin to describe how great I'm feeling.
Sending love and thanks to all who follow my Drawing A Day.

All Eyes
Sky's will open today and expecting a big weather change with winds and sunshine. All the chicks are home to roost. So many travelers on the roads last night. Took an extra 3 hours of travel. Looking forward to cooking together tomorrow, sharing stories and lots of laughing. My heart is wide open; full of love and appreciations for my family and loved ones.

Foggy Morning

Despite the foggy gray day, I'm feeling alert and excited. Birds are flying south. For some, this is the south! DC is a between weather area. Knowing that by Friday we're expected to be in the sunny 50's gives me hope. Looking forward to seeing my college student returning home for the holiday tonight with new stories and fresh energy.

Orange Striated Sunrise

Woke to a very grey day, but remembered just two days ago waking to this amazing orange sunrise. Seeing that sunrise gave me such joy. I am doing my best to find that joy this morning and stick with it.

Full Moon Sailboat
Still reflecting on lovely memories of being in Florida with my Mom; our dinner together on the ocean with the moon and stars and a few sailboats heading home at dusk. Grey day here at noon time, planning for a walk before the rains.

Inspired by Lee
Last of the Iris' blooming along the fence of the cemetery in a warm protected Southern facing rise. Portrait of flower taken with my smart phone. Not so smart about the lighting! Need to learn the art of taking pics with this new device. So much to learn; I guess it just never stops if you keep your heart open and curiosity in check.

Resting in Blue

Brought the sunshine with me from Florida, making the transition from hot humid to sunny chill doable. The warm hugs at the airport helped too. Do not want to get swept up into the frantic pace just yet. Doing my best to take my time and not feel the constant rush around that is my life in DC. Nothing like getting away for a few days to remind me that the rush around is not everywhere. And no surprise, I really prefer the non rushed life pace. How to meet my challenges without the rush rush?? Setting that intention would be a  good New Year's resolution.

Sky with Clouds and Stars
Sat along the waterfront for dinner last night. Enjoyed a lovely evening with my Mom. Living here is so much easier, slower and the mild weather makes it all possible. Heading back to loving arms and challenging work and beginning of winter in Washington. Hoping for a mellow and warm Thanksgiving! Being present and enjoying the nuisances - lizards scooting up palm trees, super bright pink flowers high in the bushes.

Tree Pose with Fishes

Had a great yoga class yesterday at Simply Yoga in Delray Beach. I was the only student and the teacher offered respect and challenges to my practice. My bike has flat tires so I may just go for a walk  and then end up at the pool. Sunny, hot, humid, hurray! Sending ease and happiness to friends and family.

Fall Tree
It's hard to believe that my view this morning is of palms trees and I chose a oak in the north. Some images are just hard to shake. Tropical rain shower on arrival but loving the temperature down here...around 80 and hopefully we'll have a sunny day.

Portrait of Jim 

Sometimes when I am drawing, a portrait emerges from my "hard drive" creative brain and it is an image from long ago. It amazes me that these pictures are stored in my head and when given a chance, pop out.  Didn't get to visit Jim and Lucia on this trip south, but hope to see them soon.

Abstractions in the Night
Why do we live anywhere but on the warm Florida coast??? The local theory is that if everyone moves here, we'll sink into the gulf. It's only knowledge for the inner circle. Happiness is walking in the sunshine, having coffee with family and sharing laughs and stories.

Red Tree in Passing
Meandering down 95 happened to land in the sleepy town of Walterboro, SC. Charming B&B in and old school house/academy. Oldacademybandb@yahoo.com Very friendly innkeepers and warm and snuggy linens. A perfect welcoming stop on the road. Glad I had a big walk this morning, made eating all the breakfast treats less guilt infused. Onward to the south.

Playful energy on this foggy morning. Sometimes it feels better to just laugh it all off then to dwell in the challenges and solutions. And sometimes while I am laughing, the perfect solution is revealed.

Today's warm morning has me longing for spring and summer and it's only the beginning of fall. A sun warmed body on the beach, biking along the shore, aaaaah. Heading out tomorrow to find this fantasy scene.

Jekyl Island 2010
Gearing up for another adventure with my Mom. Remembering last year's when we happened to stay on Jekly Island. Super small island originally developed by the big industry folks who wanted a reprieve from the harsh Mid West and New England winters.  Guess they hadn't found out about Florida, yet.

Three Geese Crossing

Very late post today. Hit the road early and never looked back. A big day of listening, challenges, appreciations and apologies. Exhausted and ready to close the day. How different it would be to post every night before bed instead of in the morning.

Through the Mountains 

Always willing to try something new. Hadn't experienced the lake district around Scranton before and find it beautiful, peaceful, limited development, cottages and small towns surrounding each water hole. Sent paper lanterns honoring our ancestors high into the sky above one lake and watched them fizzle and disappear into the starlit night.

Desert Oasis
How do oasis' work? Sun shining so brightly that it tricks the eye into believing the water is there. Are some people more likely to fall for it? Believing with all your senses that something is there and then poof, it's not. Metaphor for the universe??

Smiling Sunshine

Imagining what the sun would look like if it was up before me. Ah the dark mornings of fall and winter. I had convinced myself that the treasure of waking at this hour is seeing the stars. But truth be told, I miss waking to the sun beaming in my east facing windows. Five months ahead of dark mornings - time to engage the imagination.

Birthday Girl at Ease
Some people get anxious when another birthday rolls around. Is it the change of numbers? or the perception that things will change? or the possibility that a new adventure will be in your future?  Now research supports the old line about "age is how you feel" identifying ways to keep your energy young; exercise, good food, lots of social engagement, having a meaning for your life and on and on. Age alone cannot limit your experience!!
