no words needed...
not that you asked....
- Carol Dunton
- As a little girl growing up in Ohio, I spent my time outdoors as much as possible playing with Nature. I’ve always been captivated by the textures, nuances and palette of colors found around us. I’m intrigued by the details observed in a crackled leaf, a pink petal, a frosty spider web, or a billowy cloud found in our back yards, gardens, the skies or wherever we may journey. Life is fast-paced. We often walk right past these gifts, unaware of the wonderment they offer to our sense, to our souls. Photography allows me to stop time, to freeze a moment...and to hold these gifts forever…thus creating a permanent feast for the eyes and spirit. Challenging myself with my camera forces me to go for a shot that might be considered unobtainable. The word ‘can’t’ doesn’t enter into my self-talk. Instead, I say “Let me see what I can get!” and I go for it. If I want to take a close, tight picture, I do it, without the benefit of a macro lens. My philosophy is that nothing is wasted and everything is gained in the pursuit of that perfect shot that permanently expresses what my soul is feeling. There are no ‘bad pictures’….merely ‘learning experiences’. I am fearless with my camera.

I adore you...
and you are welcome....
Oh dear, a rough spot huh? My but those are frequent sometimes, especially when you feel you are trying to do the right thing for everyone involved...and you most of all. Many hugs to you, and know that you will not stay in this exact space forever. Luckily, things tend to move on or through...and I suppose I could say something poetic about all the healing that will happen when you've moved beyond, but sometimes it takes a little while to see it through.
Just remember to enjoy and catch the happy moments when they come too...because it gives you a little something to hold on to, and a little goal to come back to...I figured out at some point that if I achieved it once...it may be a starting point for me to go to again, and then who knows what will be possible?
And yes...I do indeed have lights above the canopy in my bed...and then twinkle ever so gently when I turn them on. Apparently I am quite the romantic (although, I always kind of knew that!!) If you're ever up this way, you can always come over and gaze at the chandelier...
