Beautifully mixed-up seasons
(both blogs)
Isn't it breathtaking? This tree outside my house wasn't finished with its Fall color before the first snow came in December~ rendering this beautiful image.
I myself don't remember seeing this happen, before. But this year, our weather seems to be a couple of weeks ahead of its usual schedule.
...And the crimson bench looks great in the snow, just as I'd pictured!

Been busy
(both blogs)
Here's something I did recently~ an ink-and-watercolor Affirmation card I keep next to my bed!
This one was a lot of fun to do, too! ~ Ink/watercolors are just plain FUN to do!
I wrote the affirmation about half a year ago, and have been enjoying it, ever since~ it gives me a lift everytime I read it!
I'm feeling the pull to go into oil pastels, again~ getting pictures in my mind of things I could do.~
We shall see.....!

The muse pays a visit
In my contemplative prayer group, we're discussing a book called "What God Looks Like In An Expanding Universe" (if I'm remembering correctly). The poem by Terri Maue that started out,
"god is a wild woman with stars in her hair"
set my mind sparking with pictures of what I could do with that, in an illumination, a pen-and-watercolor, mixed media piece of inspiration and enjoyment~ making sure it was something fun to do...
I had fun!~
On Ye Olde Soapbox
I'm constantly waving the banner that creativity shouldn't be limited to art forms and crafts and DOing~ it's a state of BEing, a way of life, an expression of positive energy that fans out of you in many ways, many forms~ art forms being just one aspect.
Live your creativity! Let it thrive in any way it urges to be lived!
Know that you can live it and express it in every moment!
An act of kindness, a gesture of highly personal style shining forth, an expression of your innermost being, your essence~~~ all these are creative expressions, and are vital, they give positivity out into the world, and give it back to you.

Is that not cool?
This jet in the photo was actually very, very big, a big, fat, wide, fAST jet that went right over my head. I had the camera in my hand, but was under a big tree; and by the time I ran to the other side of the tree, this jet was almost gone!
It was steel gray, no color on it, and Meant Business, so I knew it was something~ I just didn't know what ~ certainly not your ordinary jet.
I was told later that it was probably the jet used to carry the presidential limos, etc. The president was in town on the day I took this photo.
Funny thing is, I saw another one just like this, the next day...headed in the same direction. Did George W need two of these babies for his entourage's stuff?
