Where would we be without traffic signs?????

" I wonder. Are these traffic signs really necessary? Don't we know NOT to stand in-front of on-coming traffic? "

"I wonder, really I do"

Today’s observation

Beauty surrounds those who envision with their heart

Walking in the sunshine can be so empowering, a good way to get one's head straight. Today, I took a long leisurely walk around GSU campus. Even though it was a short walk, I only had 30 minutes, the walk made me conscious of the sun, the wind and the beautiful sights that are all around us. These sights can be undetected if we, as human beings don't take the time to stop and smell the roses. Granted there are no roses that I am aware of around campus but I think you, the reader get the gist.
Enjoy the pics. :- )

california trip 2009

Why does an ‘artist day’ just have to be one day, one hour, one tiny moment of time? I must admit that I am very fortunate. Recently I was able to take a week off from work and visit a close friend who recently moved to Carpinteria, California. I was able to have a whole artist week. Not sure which I enjoyed more, the walks on the beach looking at the waves, relaxing soaks in the hot tub gazing up at the stars, a day of festive drinking in the wine country or visiting the botanical gardens and cemetery at a mission in Santa Barbara. Much needed time of R & R. Now that reality sets in and I’m back to the real world, another dear friend of mine says to me, ‘envision what your life will be and it shall be.‘ If life could only be that easy? Me, being the ‘doubting thomas’ that I am, doubt that positive thinking is the sole key to happiness, but figuring what do I have to lose will give my friend’s suggestion a try. I search to find the equilibrium between the drudgery of everyday life and those moments that make me glad to be alive.
