Trying to find solace during this difficult time. My spirit is restored by nature. Here’s a few of my nature-inspired photo montages to share with my online community. I may not post often, but know that I always admire and am uplifted by your photography, paintings, poetry and thoughtful musings.

Here’s some colorful tulips surrounded by a weathered fence to remind us that however brutal the winter, spring always arrives. 🌷

Mist o’er the marsh…to me, this is the personification of the uncertain future before us—especially here in America. We need a soothsayer right now. If I looked at the magic 8-ball I had as a child it would say, “Reply hazy, try again.” How I wish there were some way to lift the fog. Soon, please.

The world seems upside-down just now and it’s getting more difficult to go on with my daily activities without feeling overwhelmed. We aren’t meant to live our lives with so much ongoing stress. 1/3

Here’s some summertime vibes for you all. We need to keep the faith and band together–somehow, better times will come again.

Set a spell with me and let your thoughts wander to a time when life was gentler and blessedly normal. We all need time to draw the arrow back before we can let it fly. 🏹

In this challenging time, I find myself thinking of calm scenes like this one of the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan down the street from my house.

My article, “Art Appreciation,”was published in the Sunday, Feb. 16th Chicago Tribune! I wrote the article and designed the section, too. Some good news that I really needed. It’s the third story I’ve written for the Tribune in the past year, and I have another one scheduled for June.

“Nothing but blue skies from now on…” 🎼 💙 How I wish that were true. But another storm is approaching. Gather your blue sky memories to remember better times. We will persevere.

The full “Snow Moon” tonight is wreathed in mystery. We are expecting a huge snowstorm tomorrow here in the Midwest tomorrow so the name is apt.

Happy Imbolc, or St. Brigid’s day. We are halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.
The artwork is a photo montage that I created from my original photographs.

Sunny, snowy day here in the Midwest. Making the move here from Threads and feeling my way in the dark. Where are my fellow photographers? Give me a follow if you’re here and I’ll do the same. #photographers
