I LOVE TREES!

Great! I love trees!

I live amongst trees-the woods as my dad called them and they are my friends!

I would like to think that the trees around our home, help to keep our air a bit cleaner than it would be in our neighborhood, that is near to an AF base.

Today is one of those awesome Spring days when the trees start showing baby leaves! You know that wonderful chartreuse, that whisper of green….. 

Today I am in gratitude for the Winter sky that has amazed me

So clear and full of stars and moon. 

Now, I will enjoy the shade that our trees offer throughout the Summer.

I can see that the trees are awake and struttin their stuff, ready to roll. 

I wish us, the birds, animals, weeds and bugs a season with the nutrients that we all need to live well and prosper!

Mixed Media Selfies!

When we create, we plumb the depths of our being, accessing what we think, feel and believe. The more we create, the more we discover!
Mixed Media selfies are self portraits that tell a story in the moment.There are infinite possibilites for materials we can use. I've been looking around the net and love these examples.....

PCM 2017 is coming up April 29 in DC, are you coming to town?

Did you all hear that there is an Honoring Our Sacred Rivers community art project that I'm involved with in the lead up to the Peoples Climate March? I'm inspired and actively co-creating in an expansive river loving community, the Potomac Riverkeeper Network's Patuxent, Anacostia and Potomac Riverkeepers.

Working with the healing energy that runs with the rivers is totally cool.
This time has reminded me of stories that my mommy shared with me about her baptism in the Raritan River in NBNJ.
I'm so glad that I have stories of how we lived with and interacted with our environment when there was such abundance of access. Let's share our stories.
