Rain falls in the dark
Watering the dry, parched earth
Coffee cup is full

In solitude....
I took this picture while in Italy two years ago....almost deleted it this morning. Oh,My! What a mistake that would have been. Remember to measure twice, cut once.

Live right inside that hope ~
The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for.
And the most you can do is live right inside that hope.
Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it.
Under its roof.

There is ALWAYS a choice:
Always a choice. But, one must first want other choices....one must then explore the possibilities.... mentally and physically search for those alternative choices.
For example, my cone flowers in the garden were dying on the vine, oh, my! And I didn't want them to cease to live, to slowly fade away day by day. Oh, they'll eventually go to seed as many things must, but I wanted to delay the process as long as possible, so I snipped this bouquet from the vine and brought it inside to fresh water in a vase.
And, while I love this original picture of my bouquet, it seemed a little cluttered, so knowing I have choices, I chose to do something about the noisy background clutter.
With my clone stamp, I removed the seam in the wall paneling, then erased the gray counter top. With my opacity reduced, I re-cloned some of the shadows away from the bouquet.
Making things lighter and brighter is most often a great choice.
Getting right to the black and white of the issue is always a great choice. De-saturating the issue, then adding saturation back in is often a fun choice too.
Now, after exploring and experimenting with a few choices, one can narrow down the perspective to make the final choice. It may be the right choice, or it may be the wrong choice, but at least there's the recognition that there is a choice!
I'm all about choosing today!

Reflect Upon:
Reflect upon your present blessings -
of which every man has many -
not on your past misfortunes,
of which all men have some.

When life gets blurred
My creative bursts have been very cool lately!
I can't even think
of what I want to create:
Am I moving too fast?
Is it time to slow down?
and refocus?
and get a better picture?

Vintage Enamel - Stamped with Persil:
I have been enamored by the latest photoshop brush I made.....Persil.....and decided to find out more about Persil. I did find faux persil aka balloon vine....it's a perennial vine/herb native to the US. Persil - faux persil - or any other name it chooses to take - makes a wonderful brush. The light, airiness of it just fits the mood of the softness I've given the vintage blue enamel pitcher.
