  1. babso2you – I live in the Sierra Foothills and wanted to share what life is like living in the foothills. It is definitely not city life! We discovered since moving here that the only thing here that has changed since the 1800's are the clothing styles, how the houses are built, modes of transportation and little else. It is a rural area that we have dubbed Green Acres. Yes, the mentality of folks here must be the same as it was back in older times. We love the peace and quiet and we love the opportunity to see wildlife that you just do not see in the city, that is unless you go to the zoo! The air is clean; it rains; it snows; we have the four seasons. I have been inspired here by a friend who recently passed away to pursue my love of writing. I am hoping to become published soon. Please take a look at all the different categories on my blog. I hope that you enjoy them all! I look forward to your comments and if you like what you see, please feel free to subscribe! In Peace-- BW Beacham

  5. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

    This brings up memories of lying on my back watching the clouds form and disappear above. Just like life.

  6. thedogwalkinggardener – I love dogs and currently do not have any, so I am a dog-mommy when I can be. Gardening is my passion. I've always loved birds and I'm learning a bit at a time from all the Birders that I meet. Swan Lake is my second home! .

  11. kittyisnotamused – I am an eclectic crafter whose hobbies currently include knitting, crochet, making journals, cooking, and quilting, although I have also been addicted to jewelry making, scrapbooking, sewing, and many others. My passion for creating runs a wide gamut and jumps back and forth from new hobbies to old often. I live with my hubby and our 3 pets: 1 grown puppy with the attention span of a goldfish, and 2 lazy chubby kitties. Kitties who, despite my best efforts to gain their enthusiasm, show no interest in what I'm working on except to lay on whatever it is occasionally. The hubby's reactions are better, which is why he gets many handmade items and the kitties only a few, but his reactions are usually confused smiles and nods with "thats great sweety!" The dog shows the most enthusiasm but mostly that translates into her trying to snot and eat whatever I am showing to her... I suppose thats just life tho :) Thanks for stopping in, feel free to leave a comment!
