  3. liliesandleaves – I love the True and Living God, all He is, says, and does, and all He created, and I want to share that with the whole, wide world. Behind every THING there is a THOUGHT, and when we discover that thought, we learn something of God.

  4. wildsherkin – Sherkin Island, Co Cork, Ireland – I like to make things, and I don't always have time and space to do that. Sherkin Island is a tiny island off the south west coast of Cork. It's one of the Carbery One Hundred Isles in Roaring Water Bay, just a ten minute ferry ride from Baltimore in West Cork yet a million miles away from my day job.

  9. maryoconnor12 – Along the Connecticut shoreline – I am a writer, poet, community volunteer, pupil of psychology, writing instructor, guest speaker, artist, lover of nature, curious traveler and author of Life Is Full of Sweet Spots, An Exploration of Joy, as well as Dreams of a Wingless Child, a book of award-winning poetry. An advocate of the power of writing as an agent of change, I enjoy speaking to community groups about the joy of making words sing and conduct creative poetry writing workshops for inmates at the State of Connecticut’s York Correctional Institution. As a writer and a painter, I enjoy living along the Connecticut shore, where I infuse everyday observations of the natural world with the sensitivity and insightfulness that tend to define my experience of life. It is these reflections that have helped me realize that one need not look far to find an element of peace, of celebration, of joy, in this inordinate world of which we are all a part.

    It’s amazing how a lecherous lichen can look so much like the fragrant and romance-ladened rose.

  18. 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.

Time out to blow bubbles, walk on the beach, write some stuff, do some needlework, and generally enjoy life once again. You can view my main blog at www.iggandfriends.wordpress.com.

  29. ambien0 – Paw Paw IL – Yes Paw Paw does exist. It is on an old Chicago - Galena stage line. We’ve only lived here since 2002 starting out in Chicago (west Rogers Park) in the early 70’s, then west to Glen Ellyn where husband Dan and I bought our first home and raised son and daughter, Natalie and Bill. Having grown up in a rural area of upstate New York with a cacophony of animals and 4H activities, wild and natural places – and farm life – have always called me. Those interests morphed into many years of backpacking in Colorado, canoeing in Wisconsin and biking the Prairie Path as well as a long career in the landscaping field. I continue my passion for plants and beautiful outdoor spaces through my business and website Nearlywild.net. I have two amazing and accomplished adult children that I am immensely proud of and visit regularly – Chicago and San Francisco. We share many family interests – good food, biking, outdoor activities and adventure. My goal with this blog is to share our experiences and keep us all connected. Welcome! And please feel free to contribute! Pat

  35. Inside the Mind of Isadora – Intriguing, sensitive, mysterious, loving, artistic and crackling with excitement for life is a pretty good description of who I am. I just retired from the world of art where I sold my Artfully Designed Handmade Jewelry for 28 years; although, art will always be a part of who I am, no matter what venue I choose to express it in.
