  • A Birds Eye View

    A Birds Eye View

    “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” -Henry David Thoreau I seriously think I’m all talked out for a while. It’s a satisfying feeling (maybe for you as well?).  Anyway, I said that my next post would be “different,” so I decided that – for one thing – it would…

  • The Beauty of Change

    The Beauty of Change

    “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” -Henri Bergson I said the other day that I was looking for solutions. Maybe it’s not as simple as that. Solutions might work when you’re repairing your car, or fixing a leaky pipe, but life is…

To add a little depth, I decided to call it … “Dance like Nobody is Watching.” It’s pretty broad (and cliche too,…

  • Powerhouse

    Powerhouse

    Never apologize for being a strong woman. Hopefully I’m not overdoing the shadow effects… but this particular image seemed better with than without. I may revisit that idea later when this one comes around for a revamp. Speaking of “vamps,” a category I really got into before was kind of a take on femme fatales……
