Summertime and the Living Is Easy

June is slowly sliding off the radar map never to be heard from again. That makes me so sad because June is my very favorite month. First month of summer vacation, weather not too awful yet, pretty, crisp, blue skies that makes me think of sailboats, sand and homemade ice cream. I am so aware of time incessantly; in the summer how swiftly it’s dashing away, while the rest of the year, how unhurriedly it passes by, and how little energy I have on reserve. Yet I have boundless energy in the summer.

Because I love art, my world is opened up in the summer. The last 2 days I designed 39 greeting cards, not because it was a marathon but because I just could not quit. I am infatuated with creating art, all kinds of art, it is my obsession. Drawing, painting, blogging, photography, cardmaking, etc. all make me jump blissfully out of bed. So continue on summer, I am right behind you.

Only One Flower

It's June 11 already! Where does the time go? I have such a huge long list of accomplishments and projects to get done in 3 short months. In fact I have numerous projects going on at once, and while my beloved photography is not even in the picture, I am catching up reading all my photography manuals and learning so many different procedures from the professionals. Soon it is going to be so hot, before I can get outdoors; my camera will be in fry mode. And I hate taking indoor photos, just can’t get the indoor light correct. UGH!

The clock is ticking, projects are calling my name-always, and even more are bidding for my attention. I vote for school to be out for four months, maybe even possibly five. Then I could get it all done, I just know I could.

These photos are taken at the Dallas Arboretum-are you wishing I would please go somewhere else for a change? So sorry, I only have one flower in my front flower bed.

I have this thing for park benches
