Snow Sculptures

Filed Under Getting to Know Susan, Night Lights, Reflections, Uncategorized, Where I am Going | Leave a Comment

Yesterday, I went hunting for remaining snow sculptures as the winter nears its end, momentarily. Spring has begun to whisper in the wind ‘I’m very near, just a few more weeks and flowers will be bursting with joy and delight.’ I could feel the air changing so I seized the moment to capture more snow [...]

Inspiration, Continued

When sliings and arrows of the dailiness of living seems daunting, inspiration maintenance can be challenging. Today has been monumental in holding on to creating what my soul cries out to create – drawing upon my passion to being the author of my life.

Been Inspired……again!

For a little while I’ve laid down my ‘word document’ (modern contemporary version of ‘the pen’) regarding my screenplay, The Last Rose of Summer. Today, my inner landscape is leaping with anticipation to return writing my screenplay. I’m so glad because I’ve been frustrated not writing everyday. There are so many exciting writing ideas I [...]

Storefronts Windows

Filed Under Landscape, Nature, Online Marketing | Leave a Comment

Yesterday I began photographing businesses that participate in the A.W.E. project – Artist Window Exhibit. It’s been happening since 3 years. I thought having images of the storefronts that participate will be helpful to the artists as they choose which stores their artwork will be displayed. Some artists are not from here and these images show which stores [...]

Remember when I shared with all of you my dazzling delight in seeing glistning diamonds on tree branches – well, after this past snow storm its recipe was not quite the same.

Lots of Snow Is Here….WOW

Lots of soft, powdery textured snow arrived early Monday morning. I think around 10 inches.  During the beginning of a snow storm I enjoy taking a ride in my car.  I get this feeling of – survival mode, being in my auto-bubble as I ride along the street packed with snow. My little humble Chevy [...]

Snow is Coming Tonight

I’ve been told by the professional weather scientists who predict in what form nature is coming – snow is falling in my little town tonight.  I’m so delighted to hear that! I feel snow creates such an altering visual of the environment – and it happens during the winter months, only.  Other elements such as [...]
