Every day

"An Artful Journey" meant that I was able to capture the things of interest in my immediate space as I sat on the plane today. Of course there is always the beauty of the scenery on the ground and color of the sky and shapes of the clouds. It’s free, it’s beautiful and it gives…

This photo is the way I feel tonight, a little mix of everything. Lost and found. I had no internet last night. I thought I had done something wrong on my computer and spent time trying to fix it…. in one foul swoop, I almost deleted all my photos….Fortunately I have been able to restore…

Class is over, now on to the next one.

These are a few of the quilts designed from images taken by students on Mackinac Island on Sunday. Everyone was so different. I think the interesting thing for me was to see how others view images… I asked the students to focus on a subject… take a lot of photos and represent that image, realistically…

I’ve been inventing this alphabet for a while now.. I have actually made small quilts with the designs too. OK guys…. the designs are…

I didn’t miss this one.

t was hot today, in the 90’s and there was an impending storm, so I had my dinner early and set up the camera to wait for it. This photo was taken at 8.00 PM when the sun was still high in the sky… as you can see it is lost behind the clouds. It’s…

I missed it again.

hanks so much for your emails about the Amish experience. You know I intended to write a lot, but then I just felt the  I was invading their privacy. I came down to MN on the shuttle this morning. Its a 3 hour trip and my traveling companions were 2 Amish families. The youngest child…

My Amish experience

ometimes I just have to pinch myself because of the situations I find myself in.  I make no apology for being  interested in learning more about the community that I reside in here in the USA. After 12 years visiting this small town, I still get great delight out of seeing the flags proudly being…
