Expression Studio: May 2015
http://expressionstudio.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. Vignettes from the garden. Often I dream about leaving the house with the camera and driving to. New places, but then reality sets in and I once again find that it's. Better if I stay home; safer that way. I'm a believer that photos are everywhere if we look at our. Surroundings with "new eyes." Some times it takes looking through. The viewfinder to see the ordinary in a new way. A pot of Agave is interesting enough. But what if the image is layered with a photo of barrel cactus?

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. My Wish for everyone is that. The struggles that were experienced. In 2014 will be the fertilizer to. Fuel Wonderfulicious dreams in 2015. Woke up to a rare sight, snow!

Expression Studio: April 2015
http://expressionstudio.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. Awesome April - Sea Urchin Month. Every April I'm greeted most mornings with a fragile Sea Urchin Cactus. Bloom, lasting only for the day of its birth. The challenge every year. Is to photographically create new versions of this awesome event. The first bloom of this year was photographed against a pot on the patio that. Only came to life with a watercolor app. The second image is a straight iPhone shot. Canon PowerShot, PSE 13 manipulated. Late afternoon garden shot,.

The flowers always remind me of of Elephants . . . . Layered/blended photo of a window in Amalfi, Italy,. I was pretty sure this was taken in Orvieto. So much. After I moved ...

Expression Studio: Wonderfulicious Wednesday
http://expressionstudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/wonderfulicious-wednesday.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I was browsing through the blog and realized that it's been a year since I posted. A Wonderfulicious Wednesday post. Seems that I forgot that I intended to post at. Least once a week. Energy being a low commodity around here, both mine and Stacy's,. Not much gets done some weeks. We're a sad duo! Lots of good intentions never happen. Wonderfulicious is something that sparks joy! And the above photo. Does just that. Sadly, the original photo is among the lost ones but. Line and w...

After decades of not seeing fireworks live,. The first few blasts of lights were quite shocking. To the senses. I certainly understand why some. Wonderfulici...

Sunday, January 25, 2015. January has flown by . . . Being January has flown by I'm dedicating this post to birds. I can't remember a. Time when I didn't love them. I'm not sure what it is about them that speaks to me. And maybe I don't need to know . . . They don't even need to be exotic for me to. Take notice of them. I can't imagine a garden without them and feel. Blessed to have so many visit the feeders and fountain. Yesterday the dove in the above photo posed for me. A vine against the wall. Them o...

Expression Studio: November 2014
http://expressionstudio.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 01, 2014. 11/1 Happy Birthday to my oldest daughter. Fall in the desert isn't exactly spectacular: leaves don't turn colors but a. Little color has shown up. The sunsets have been glorious! Sometimes the sky looks like it's on fire. A finch on the water fountain looks decked out in Fall colors. And the occasional dry grape leaf is wind-tossed into a tree. White doves may be the symbol for love and peace. But the gentleness and serenity that this daily visitor provides. Life Is Full O.
