…my art has become all consuming
There are only two days left to my art show so things on my blog should be somewhat back to normal after this weekend. Normal? What is that? Here are a few trios for this week’s challenge.
…thanks to Cee for hosting the Black and White Photo Challenge
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
…..thanks to Cee for hosting Odd Ball Photo Challenge
Some of my odd ball photos come from experimenting with my camera and my different lenses. Here are a few at I took at the cottage the last two weeks.
….go to Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge to see more odd ball photos or submit some of your own
Waiting
I sit here procrastinating
Waiting for tomorrow
Work surrounds me, waiting to be done
Things need to be sorted and put away
But I wait
Why?
Is it the unknown of what tomorrow brings
or do I need this time to reflect on happier times
or just be thankful for every precious moment
Waiting!
….time to get back to work
It will make the waiting go faster

What are small stones?
A small stone is a short piece of writing (any style) that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment for you. The process of discovering small stones is as significant as the finished creation. Searching for small stones encourages you to keep your senses on the “alive and alert” status. Involve yourself with a new set of eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind. In short … OPEN, OPEN, OPEN!
….the first day back to work
A New Year
The car instinctively knew where to park
Making its way into a spot that really wasn’t a spot
But the lot had become too small for our growing staff
And no one car pools.
The cold Arctic air bit my face as I gingerly placed
My feet on the icy surface
Hoping that my boots wouldn’t let me down, literally.
The cold easily penetrated my thin inadequate gloves
But I knew that the walk to the door would take less than a minute
Sweet Miss M greeted me, as she does every morning
Opening the door to a warm and welcoming place
This gesture was even more appreciated today
As I had forgotten my swipe key
Had I really been away for two weeks?
The morning was already busy with excitement
Children eager to share their stories and
Teachers busy, preparing for their day
The New Year begins, a new day, just like any other
But with renewed hope and promise of good things to come.
