I had to shift my photography to wordpress because blogger wasn't playing nice:)<br />Thanks again!<br /><br />Dec 27 (caption on photo) is summer here:) I like the changing season caught forever through your lense.Lucky Dip Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641107558317278059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-90338329410009848542009-09-24T14:40:48.172-07:002009-09-24T14:40:48.172-07:00Yesterday we trimmed back the lavender and now our...Yesterday we trimmed back the lavender and now our house smells like summer, but the air feels like winter is approaching. I love much about the fall, but it is a time of letting go, as the leaf you observed. And with letting go is a certain inevitable sadness.Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245301334922883500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-43509341055392680702009-09-18T14:28:01.583-07:002009-09-18T14:28:01.583-07:00i've just come across your blog via blue sky d...i've just come across your blog via blue sky dreaming [above] - and must confess right up front that i am totally smitten not only with your visual art, but your verbal art as well - and with the beauty of your spirit which emanates from the screen - <br /><br />while i do not have an "art" blog, per se, in one of mine, the gypsy on words unspoken, i do use my own verse exclusively the last month or so - there was a time when i wrote frequently - and a time when i was very involved with my own painting and sculpture - and photography [had a nikon f2 back in those days :) ] - and, like many, am now setting about to re-capture and/or re-create and/or create anew that part of me that seems to have been called away far too long - <br /><br />oh, and i found the story of your medical journey especially meaningful as several years ago my sister had a similar cardiac experience - and then, one year ago next month, was found to have ovarian cancer which had been misdiagnosed for a very long time - she underwent surgery for that last october and just this last week, finally had the opening of her theatrical production which had been put on hold for a year - so, again, your story was especially meaningful to me - <br /><br />please feel free to drop by my place and check out my blog[s] - there are several - i hope you will enjoy! <br /><br />jeneanGYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-46717716238366747022009-09-17T16:45:28.874-07:002009-09-17T16:45:28.874-07:00This is my first time to leave a comment...I found...This is my first time to leave a comment...I found you over at Jeane's ARTIT. Your words of introspection are beautiful and perfect for these autumn days.

Not only words of encouragement but sharing your own journey and the obstacles you faced. Thank you.<br /><br />This journey of looking back has been going on since the open-heart surgery. Just as much as I look forward to the future I cannot help but reflect back as to the beginning of my second life.<br /><br />Thinking of my own mortality only increases the importance of the precious time remaining in which to accomplish the things unfinished.The Artist Within Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081658641380811738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-48904524606910640572009-09-16T15:34:06.476-07:002009-09-16T15:34:06.476-07:00Do you know what prompted you to begin this journe...Do you know what prompted you to begin this journey back? And have you defined your hope for the future?<br />Recognizing one's mortality can spark so many different emotions. Fear or opportunity, the choice is always ours to make every morning, if we are lucky enough to wake up.<br />The leaf reminds me of how impermanent and delicate life is.

If not, you should be-- you should write a book and illustrate it with your beautiful imagery--- you words are so poetic and thought provoking at the same time. Although I sense a thread of sadness as well, or perhaps nostalgia for what past history in your life.layershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991288165260934778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-90401204496809625552009-09-15T08:43:25.537-07:002009-09-15T08:43:25.537-07:00To see the beauty in Autumn is to see the beauty i...To see the beauty in Autumn is to see the beauty in life, I think.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459007216153293119.post-51092584026726460492009-09-15T08:19:48.607-07:002009-09-15T08:19:48.607-07:00Thankyou for visiting my blog and leaving a commen...Thankyou for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. You are truly amazing to be able to work through your physical frailty and pain and produce such fantastic art. I know how hard it is to drag oneself back to the living world, as I experienced this in 2001. An undiagnosed virus resulted in liver and kidney failure and I have never had the same strength and stamina since. I know it was drugs that saved me, though I still like to think it was my husband's kiss on my forehead as I lay in hospital that dragged me back to life. At the time, all I wanted to do was die.

You photography is phenomenal, so very beautiful and strong. I am sorry to hear of your struggles with health, keep on with your wonderful attitude, your powerful art is a gift to those of us who see it.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717382843550131146noreply@blogger.com
