Perspective
Jeff and I went exploring the other week and ended up on a dirt back road that took us to the top of Capilla Peak, here in New Mexico.  As we were heading back down the road, he stopped so I could photograph some sunflowers growing along the roadside.  I took several images and then happened to look down.  I had a great shot available to me of the top of a sunflower, looking down onto it.  I took it and then converted it to a crayon drawing.  I kept thinking about how different, in a way, the sunflower looked from this unfamiliar angle.  My mind kept trying to turn it sideways to make it seem more “normal”.  It sort of reminded me of however life appears to us, it’s often due to our personal perspective.  That’s also true for everyone else, so it’s probably best if we don’t take too many people at their word as truth when circumstances are a bit murky or confused!  Something to think about…..

Back Patio
This week, I didn’t travel far from home inspiration.  I was particularly content just sitting on our back patio.  It’s quite the change from how I grew up – in the city.  And, as I think about the contrast in life between the city and country, I couldn’t help but think that the wild roses growing on a bush just off our patio was more lovely than any city sight I’ve ever seen.  And, so that’s this week’s thought…..

Waving
I don’t have far to walk to my studio, but along the way during the summer months, this yucca’s blooms always seem to wave me along, offering encouragement for whatever I have in mind.  At times, I let my hand caress the tiny red blooms and the green seed pods.  It’s a connection I never tire of.

Christmas Anywhere
I’m never surprised to see Christmas whenever I walk thru the woods.  Even in the heart of summertime, there are always a few leaves that seem to want to hurry autumn, and then winter, along.  The natural colors of Christmas are always a treat to find, no matter the season!
