Salt Photography is all about perspective (as is life). Mundane objects can become surreal art through a macro lens. Tiny details, normally overlooked, take on new possibilities when studied and appreciated. The morning sun on the kitchen table changes colours, creates reflections, and lights up salt shakers. Suddenly, salt is art. Salt is also anContinue reading “Mindfulness Challenge Week 12: Perspective”

Capturing the Light
A pretty chandelier caught my eye while out shopping with my family. It was perfect for the master bedroom – glittery glass pendants and shiny, embossed brass. The circular patterns caught my eye first; the shadows cast across my ceiling, second.

Abstract in the Woods
Below the trees, where the light barely reaches, the melted snow had created a small pond. Part ice and part water, the trees reflected here and there. It is a natural abstract.

My husband and I love shopping in antiques shops. Lately, I had been looking for an old drawer/basket/suitcase to hold my cards at the next craft fair I am getting ready for. There was no shortage of containers, but they were all too small, too big, too round, or too expensive. Just when I hadContinue reading “Shopping for Antiques”
Fall on the Shore
Even the rocks are turning gold.
