I am amazed at how 6 weeks of summer have flown by!

Kristen's

Summer of Color is a bit of a count down

she has chosen colors for us to use each week in our art

some colors that thrill us

and

colors that we might not have chosen ourselves

it has been a wonderful time of getting to know my relationship with color

those I tend towards

some I do not

I have come to like some colors together that I have 
steered clear of in the past

this weeks colors:

Raspberry & Tangerine

with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

Thank you Kristin for being our lovely and generous host!

DC: Memories..... and there are so many ;-)

recently
i have been smitten with the present moment

inspired by

wanting to know how to best care for my land

so i listen

to the breeze animating the trees

and 

the beauty of flowers tilting their heads to the sun

(fairy slipper, Calypso orchid)

 

tiny fungus as they rise through the surface of the earth

in doing so

i have found myself in a deep quiet joy

that is what the present moment can inspire

deep quiet joy

and i thought (memories) of other moments in my life

that brought me present to:

 deep quiet joy

my son falling asleep on my shoulder

the colors of the setting or rising sun

a kiss

where nothing else exists

the first sip of coffee in the morning

photographing ice crystals and snowflakes

creating art

dancing

and 

dancing with a partner

(dancing with violets)

the list goes on

i love it when the past falls away

and the future is where it belongs.... in the future

and i am 

completely absorbed

in now

i feel that is the best

experience of my 56 years of life

~

it seems the presence is in this moment and in my memories

so many memories!
