Postcards from the Edge...

I am using Rebecca's post title for Postcards today...as I have been traveling back and forth lately..on the edge, between here and the city of my birth.  Before leaving today Tess and I walked briefly along the painted dikes that line the Arkansas river.

My brother started this huge mural project in the early 80's...I'm sure having no idea that his early morning forays, laying down some paint before the police caught them, their 'tag' then....tee hee,

would turn into such a celebrated attraction.

Finding moments of grace where I can....

Citrus Blast

as metyphor...citrus, the sweet and the sour, the lime and the orange...

I may be putting my head in the sand but have chosen to savor the orange sky...the mandarin orange

it's a path we all journey down...trying to find the grace and savor the sweet.

Sending Light

Finding joy in the unexpected gifts of a family pulling together...

sending light and fierce strength to both my dad and to my friend Rebecca

 

To Lift my Spirits

as if on cue...the Amaryllis is blooming

to lift my spririts from sadness to hopefullness

my sweet dad has a long road of recovery ahead...but my spirits are blooming

Slow Unfolding

Finding JOY in the slowly unfolding dance of the Amarillys...

and citrus slices brightening gray evenings

and journal pages.

How are you finding JOY?

Reflected...3x3

3x3...or 6

x1...the Goddess comes to the forefront

then recedes again

Citrus and Steel Blue/Gray

all the citrus love from Rebecca and eb got me going...perhaps it's a high altitude thing...but most of mine burned...

what a sweet surprise though to cut into one orange and find a blood red interior...

and the orange against the steel blue/gray sky...lovely

inspiring juicy journal pages...

Postcards...from inside the Mango Studio

For over a month the Mango Studio has been a flutter with Monarchs...stamping, painting...

on coffee filters and tin...

and finally

the Methusaleh Goddess...photographing her in her full glory has been a challenge, still figuring that one out.

I believe we'll gather to view postcards...even though Rebecca is off BLOOMING in San Miguel

Mosaic Around the World

So many kindred souls...finding no boundaries in forming their worlds around their fantastic imaginations.  I have experienced tile mosaic environments in the US at the Magic Gardens in Philadelphia and being inside Gaudi's futuristic mind in Barcelona...

in Mexico in the amazing tile world of Anado....

the images here are some that Mr R shares of an amazing tile environment in Cuba

a conversation

an intimate look within

kindred souls ignite

Finding JOY...nuff said
