Spooky Muse ~ been sleeping ^_^ WEEKEND POST ~ Whew, just one of those weeks attending to life choices ~ socializing a bit. Seems social functions tend to come in clusters. Still working on 'balance' of creating and socializing. Sometimes it flows; other times it is a bit like the ocean ~ ride the waves. Today we have artists, poets and photographers we are sharing with this weekend: paint party friday haiku my heart carpe diem haiku your sunday best photo The first photo is for paint party friday and is a playful one for my creative self and others. The haiku below are included in one photo but cover several themes, tears, childhood, laughter and perfume. The last photo is one I took at the beach today. Essentially the ocean created this wonderful design in the sand and thoroughly filled my creative soul. |
beautiful words and beautiful art, yours and Mother Natures.
