Perfection. Plain and simple. It amazes me each time I take a moment to really look at things. The beauty is almost incomprehensible. There is so much to appreciate all around us. Just look at the perfectly formed petals of this flower. Look at the center – how it’s like a stunning piece of art. All of this beauty and the world can be so ugly at times. So, focus on the good, and share it like wildfire!

We were driving down a dirt road far out in the country. It was a hot and humid day. I spotted field after field of sunflowers and had to jump out, climb up several hills to get this shot. There was a dark cloud looming, the weather was about to turn – we were in for some major rain. Would I have time? I sincerely hoped so! On top of the approaching weather there were ants everywhere, but I managed to get this shot, spectacular isn’t it?

A quick sketch on the iPad is always a good time – it’s relaxing, and it’s my preferred way to create art (clearly not to sell but just to settle down for the evening) – quick cleanup (turn it off), hehe. I used my finger so it could be a wee bit more precise, but I wasn’t going for precise, just quick and sketchy. I like the pink with a white background. I also have a coloring book app that I use, ha ha. #goodtime

Where has all the time gone? Seriously… this little puppy who started out very timid and shy, afraid of absolutely everything has turned into the King of the House. Matter-of-fact, as I type this he’s having his daily hissy for lunch… #iwantitnow #notintenminutes Charlie turns 12 today, hard to believe! #timetocelebratecharlie
