Spring is here and the hills are glowing. Newness is popping out in the orchards. The hills and valleys are waking up. As you can see, the rain clouds are moving in...yea, more flowers on the way.

Morning is my best time for idea retrieval. Have several things I would like to complete this week...window and paper images being at the top of the list. Began writing (again) in private journal yesterday afternoon. Will trash entries. Nothing worth keeping. However, the side effects of writing are worth keeping. Writing anything (even if it is garbage) opens creative doors so concepts and ideas can come flying in for consideration.
"Imagination is a muscle." -- Dean Koontz on Sunday Morning (today 4-10-2011) Today will be an imagination day. The results will be posted as they occur. Took photographs of paper this week and this morning. Out of very little will hopefully come something wonderful. It has happened before and it will happen again. Oh, how wonderful it is to play.
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to care about what you are shooting--to put your feelings into the image. My daughter's birthday is coming up and this image expresses my feelings. Oh, how I wish we could sit at the table and have coffee.
