Decorate? Why Bother?

Decorate? Why Bother?

We didn’t decorate for Christmas because we were going to be gone- so why bother? But we didn’t do it the last few years either, because of a lot of reasons- mostly the Bah-Humbug ones. But last year we made the trek north to Newport, Oregon to have Christmas with our estranged family after 9 years of…

Ghost Ranch Inspiration

Ghost Ranch Inspiration

It was the most memorable stop on the whole tour through New Mexico with the ASP (American Society of Photographers) group, and impacted me way more than I would have ever expected.

A Stroll in Full Color

While we were at Ben’s in Vermont, (continued from yesterday’s blog), we took a little stroll through the property, past the little houses he built (a blog about that is in the works!), and we headed for the outback field! We just took off down the path, out toward the pond where his dog loves…

The War of Art- the struggle is real!

The War of Art- the struggle is real!

JULY 1 It is incredibly hard to get started on something you feel is so important you don’t know where to start. We are worried about the future, the overall message, the sequence, the whatever! So much that we DON’T get started and we put it off for another day thinking we will be thinking…
