Winter Sunsets

I was just complaining about winter and bam suddenly despite a snowstorm the other night Spring seems to have sprung...things are dripping, the crows are cawing & the chipmunks have woken up.

I want winter to be over for our wild hare Iris...I want it for the rabbits who are so so bored inside.

But I like the quiet winter brings, the lesser chores outside...the gorgeous finger chilling sunsets!

Happy Long Weekend

The 9 buns and I hope your having a wonderful long weekend...

May you be surrounded by nothing but love, peace and kindness XO

Lake Life

We are so lucky to live pretty close to this big beautiful lake...

it's only about a 10 minute walk away...

We go here a lot after work to decompress, for sunsets, for short breaks from the buns,

after, before & in between errands...

it always seems to beckon "Come sit and breathe for a spell.."

Our 2nd date was here, along this lake, a long leisurely stroll at night in thick heavy fog...

almost 25 year ago now...

we love it so, it's part of us. I tell my hon, when I die, he's to spread most of my ashes in this water!

It's a place that soothes, refreshes and amazes us with it's always changing beauty.

I hope you have a special place like this in your part of the world XO

The Monkey King

I am going to for go Food Friday this week to show you my newest image.

It's my very first image done 100% in beautiful Faber-Castell Polychromos.

It's called "The Monkey King"

I am very pleased with it even if I moved super slowly on it.

Prints and the original will be available but probably only after the holidays,

I promise to let you know when.

I think I am going to take this weekend off from blogging, so i'll be seeing you Monday. XO.

The Way Of Waves

If your like me and stress about pretty much everything under the sun!!! (I am working on it!)

 

I highly recommend going to the water, clearing your mind & just watching the way of the waves!

Spectacular Beauty

It amazes me, how different each and every sunset is, the beauty is so much I can't take it all in...

I hope I never ever ever become the kind of person who doesn't notice all the spectacular beauty!

Run To The Water

When the world gets to be too much...

I don't walk but I run to the water!

Suntastic Sunset

I am just beyond words that I get to have this kind of beauty in my everyday life.

This is the lake near our home, just a 10 minute walk away, there are plenty of public accesses.

 We keep our eyes peeled from wherever we may be and if it looks like it'll be a decent sunset

we head to the water (when my head allows).  My heart fills with gratitude for all this beauty!

Beloved Body Of Beautiful Water

This was a few weeks back...

Spring had arrived at our beloved lake just a few minutes walk from our little home...

 This body of water is such a part of my life...

Spendor and Beauty

A day playing around in the snow a few weeks back was followed up by this...

...one of the most spectacular sunsets ever and in our own sleepy little city...amazingly beautiful.

Weekend Wishes

We hope that your steeped in cozy blue evenings...

full of hope and dancing twinkling stars XO.

Weekend Wishes

Happy Weekend wishes being wished your way...

May you find warmth in any cold and beauty in any troubled times XOXO

Winterscapes

We had a deliciously long wintery long weekend...Did you?

We spent a large part of it outside in the snow and ice with amazing winterscapes, sunsets & bunnies.

 

 

The sound of wind racing over ice & snow machines racing over snow was our daytime soundtrack.

I am feeling somewhat refreshed and anxious for a long full week in the studio, how about you?

 

So Snowy

It's been so snowy around these parts...I LOVE it...

 

 

and one of the favorite things is to just pick a spot around town & enjoy the wintery view.



Winter Wonderment

It's really hard not to love winter when it looks something like this!

You'll often find us racing to the frozen lake by our house around 4:30 at this time of the year

 

 

because the sunsets are often just so spectacular

and the beauty of them really helps to put all the little niggling worries into perspective!

I Wish For You

I hope that you had a week so rich in beauty

 

 

that you feel completely wrapped up and warmed by it XO

Beautiful Weekend

I hope wherever you are in the world...

 

 

That your having a beauty filled weekend XO

Happy Weekend

I hope your having a beautiful cozy Fall weekend...

Full of beauty and rest and happiness.  See you Next week I hope XO.

Watercolours & Weekend Plans

I'll be working some new pieces from photographs this weekend...

 

 

I hope to be able to drag my work outside if some warmer weather makes an appearance!

 

I hope you have a great weekend too and that you'll join me once again next week.



Happy Weekend

I am normally on holidays by now but I'll keep going for a few more days atleast,

so I'll be seeing ya next week before we take a blog break.

 

 

I hope you have an amazing weekend...

We're going to enjoy it whether the snow we're waiting for comes or not!
