  1. Cher – My hope is for people to realize that it is a journey to become whole, that each moment counts, we are not alone, and that balance is the key.

  5. Bill Bisgood – Wales – An optimistic opsimath, I'm enjoying rediscovering poetry and prose, hoping being older will not lend too much gravitas to life. I'm a recovering psychotherapist, one time detective, long term husband, fisherman, baker, gardener, long walker, dad and grandad. On a few of heady occasions I was a character consultant for ‘The Bill', 'Casualty' and for a Welsh language film drama. Photography, a Nikon D7200, fills a few creative gaps.

  10. Lugar and Company – Southaven, Mississippi – Shave some crayons on a piece of wax paper. Sandwich the shavings into between two sheets of the paper and plug in the iron. Lightly press and wah lah! Watch the colors mix and weave into a new creation. Call it Art… or Call it Life. It’s a picture of life, isn’t it? Colors, as in experiences, all washing together, merging to create lights and darks. Swirls of light trip and curtsy over impish dark blotches. In simple and complicated mixes, days sing in birdsong after the night hangs rinsed in sunrise. Having lived over a decade in South Korea and a stint in Hong Kong these deep southern roots from Montgomery, Ala have delved richly into Asia and beyond. As I now work with placing teachers in jobs overseas (Turkey, China, Malyasia, Indonesia and Central Asia) the colors continue to swirl in varigated life experiences. Some things to blog about, other than color? Our family of five, travels, Oasis International Schools, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Well, that’s a good start and did I mention that I love words and flowers? But most importantly the fact the He has risen puts all else in focus. The fact that the “I am” still is, breathes life into even the most hopeless of motifs. Oasis HR job by day, art by night, life continues as a celebration. Everyday colors push kaleidoscope-like into imagination, sprouting in fresh ideas. Every morning births new layers of a watercolor wash, both in life…and art. He said so, "Mercy and goodness shall follow me, all of the days of our lives." Just turn around... blessings are in chase of our very souls! For my original art for sale (mostly prints) please visit my Etsy site: www.simplybarefoot.etsy.com I'd be tickled for you to stop by the shop! (Please know that all images of photos and art are mine and may not be copied without permission from me, the sole owner. )

  17. dival – United States – Photography is a direct means to be inspired and live life fully, especially when out in nature and capturing something so beautiful and at the moment.

    When I saw this picture it reminded me of a book that I read recently. The Woodland Year by Ben Law. I looked it up before reading the comments and discovered that Erica also knew its name, chicken of the woods. Ben Law’s images (he’s a Brit) remind me of the geography that your East Coast images represent. Love your poetic text that describes what you’ve captured and your experiences!

    1. Thank you for introducing me to Ben Law! And thank you so much for all your lovely comments. They are part of my creative fuel.
