  10. Beautiful and so nostalgic (for me. i’m not stepping foot in that bitter cold unless I absolutely HAVE to. Or unless I’m skiing. Ha.) Really, you got everything crystal perfect in this – the shot, the poetry. Sigh.

  17. 2ndhalfolife – In the second (or really third?) half of my life now. Moving into the more crone stage: out of my head, into my soul. I am revisiting this blog after many years, many life changes and challenges and finding myself surrounding by joy and resilience. Join me for the transformation and transition.

  18. A good reminder of the connection between water and spirit (the drive to keep moving forward), but also the paradoxical connection between the life force and its potential for being turned against itself : stream, snow, occasionally ice. All in a setting of great but quiet beauty. Very rich image and words!

  19. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia

  21. derrickjknight – UK – I am an octogenarian enjoying rambling physically and photographing what I see, and rambling in my head as memories are triggered. I also ramble through a lifetime's photographs. In these later years much rambling is done in a car.

  22. KarinSmiling – hobby artist... ... ... ... spreading her wings… A native Rochestarian, and self proclaimed “hobby artist” has actually had shows at the CWO Gallery and at the Rochester Memorial Art Gallery. She has participated in ARTWalk, Artist Row at the Rochester Public Market, ArtAwake, Rochester Mini Maker Faire, Barnes & Noble Maker Faire, Rochester Artisan's Blue's Event, Rochester MakerSpace's Sunday Artists & Makers Expo (SAME), Wall Art for a Purpose, Finger Lakes Gallery & Frame "Fresh Ideas" show, Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester's ArtRageous Affair, RoCo 6x6 and Annual Members Exhibition, the NYS Fair, The Bridge Art Gallery 10th Anniversary show, and Congressional Arts Competition-First Place in New York’s 30th District. Currently she has 6 pieces at The Artists Cave in Sea Breeze, NY. She is also showing at Stony Point Art Gallery-East and the Notre Dame Retreat House. She is participating in the Irondequoit Passport to Art the last weekend of July. Her once favored medium was acrylic paints done in the monochromatic style for Finger Lakes landscape paintings. Recently she has been doing more faith based creations, creative experimental pieces, and meditative labyrinths. Adding labyrinths to a landscape gives it depth and a creative way to journey through the painting. Her immersive nature art is amazing and her intuitive art is whimsical. Her trail photo poetry has become a fun, creative and athletic hobby as well. Recently she was published in The Geneseean. Her scholastic training was throughout grade school and into college. Her favorite instructor is the incomparable Mr. Thomas O’Brien. She then had a decade or so period that was focused on work and everyday life. But in the past fifteen years she has renewed her passion for painting and multi-media arts. Yes, all art is for sale. She generally also tithes to a related group that hosted or inspired the piece of art. She also does commission work and lessons by request. This is her first time creating an art blog… enjoy!

  24. Dr. Denny Wilkins – Dr. Denny Wilkins professes journalism at a small, private university in the Northeast. He has climbed, hiked, kayaked, photographed, skied, and otherwise meandered aimlessly throughout the American West for decades. He has degrees in geology, environmental studies, and communication — and has tried to make use of them as a co-founder of the progressive cultural blog ScholarsandRogues.com. He’s broadly interested in how the world works and why it works that way. He hates writing, although he does like having written well.
