Young ones








Saw a fox cub and a young adult black bear today.

The cub raced away tail blazing like the remnants of a shooting star.

The bear, on the other hand, lumbered across my lawn, grazed on some shrubs and sat outside the locked gate to the nursery. It looked puzzled - like it was wondering why it was not open. I guess it forgot that the nursery is closed on Sundays.

A Modern Day Fairy Blog Tale







Each line below is/was the actual name of a blog originating mostly on Tumblr. All of them represent the creative muse at work. I was inspired to string them together to present this modern-day-fairy-blog. Imagination and a sense of delight is all that is needed to join me in this whimsical tour of human nature!


start handing out stars

your average ordinary hero

you were charming last night

go away come back

moods of the moon

some blonde

life over does

casseroles and cleavage

writing on the walls

bagels are the new donuts

hippies were right

reality killed the dream

and she down by the river

yeah-you-came-to-mind

brown dress with white polka dots

under the same sofa

everything you ask me

i just might

but it feels like forever

call me crazy - love

no perfect day for banana fish

wild storms

gravity sex

night tattoo

rainbow fizzy hooker

whiskey soaked

that was me seducing you

grace and sweet tea


almost touched the sky

These are but a few of the colorful and reflective names that ordinary souls call on to speak to us in the virtual world.

New moon solar eclipse

Blame it on the new moon and solar eclipse!

I was led astray again. The Sunday morning sun came streaming in the kitchen window through the blinds and I ran for my camera before I got dressed, brushed my teeth and greeted the dog.  The striations of light were just too radiant for me to ignore.   My enthusiasm quickly evaporated for my planned chore of switching from winter to summer clothes which I have to crawl in the attic to retrieve and store.  Also, I will have to bake muffins at another junction. 

Instead - this is what appeared before my happy eyes:

















Yes - I did run around the house collecting pieces to reflect the light.

The refracted light reminds me of beach shells and nature's own web of spirals.  It's really all about light and color and skipping the boring stuff to follow your passion now.  Tomorrow however,  I'll be sweating in long sleeves and jeans!  All in the name of ART.

Artwalk

Today was the quintessential lovely spring day.  Wonderful for a stroll through town and delightful for admiring the work of artists splashed along Morristown's sidewalks and alleys.  Also on display were the onlookers colorfully attired with and without hats.  I couldn't stop smiling!
