Today Im dog sitting in Greenville, SC and last evening we had freeZing rain and a dusting of snow that has already disappeared...I may actaully get to take the dogs for a walk later!! I will be here until Monday night! Its been harder than I thought to keep up the 12 Days of Christmas but I am enjoying the whole idea of doing something different!...Hope this weekend is working out for everyone of you! I got myself a new P&S camera! If the sun ever comes out I may try to take a few photos!! lol--maybe the duck pond later if the sun stays out!!

Artful Marriage

Today I need to get my mind off the real world and just seek out a peaceful place to enjoy my hobbies. This week has been plagued with bad news both for the World and for my family personally..we lost one of our own this week....my sis's dog Jake has passed from an Earthly Journey to a Spiritual One...rest in peace my old friend.. Artistic endeavors are just the answer when Im seeking solace from reality. I have been working on a project that I hope will be finished in the very near future! I had this brain storm idea over a year ago to sort my photographs, edit them to my liking and combine shots I took of junk yard cars with landscapes taken while on my travels...so I've made some progress. It has been so much fun "marrying" the car or truck with the landscape that best suits it... I will make up at least 13 of them and for a calendar-- I HOPE!.. Its been a challenge to find a landscape that matches the month/season it represents which I hadnt even considered...thankfully I have something from every season-- I think! Im a bit short of snow scenes but do have a few that may work.

Jake RIP 

APRIL for calendar project
