Along Riverwalk Lowell, MA

An afternoon roving with the camera…

Observing a Lot

 

Once in a while I take a long break from drawing, or painting and just simply observe. Whether through my camera lense, sketching, or just looking intently at objects.  At times I work with the changing seasons, winter months I am somewhat dormant and observe the most, spring I come alive and get excited about the abundance of newlife and color. The summer months continues the vibrance, excitement and colors in full bloom, my favorite is the fall, there are colors everywhere, beautiful hues and earthtones and let’s not forget the enticing aromas.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It has been a while since I have posted, but I could not allow 2009 to close without me posting a final one for the year.  Some burden I unloaded, forgiveness to myself and others wherein I found peace. It was a trying year to say the least, but I learned and grew a lot. One such lesson, if you don’t fit in some peoples program they have no use for you and you will quickly discarded. Self preservation is not being selfish, it is having wisdon and knowing your limitations,  don’t allow anyone to tell you differently.

I don’t make resolutions, I just have mind sets which I don’t reveal until they are accomplished. This I know, a new day is not promised to anyone, it is by God’s grace we make it through. I thank God He has allowed me to come this far.

A Walk in the Park – South Common Park, Lowell MA.

One of the most annoying thing since diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, is the pain associated with holding such a simple thing as a paint brush or pencil. I once took these entire tasks for granted, now it is sheer determination and will power; let’s not forget heat and I get the task done. 
Another thing that causes me excruciating pain at times is simply walking, there are times I am literally in tears, but I push on.
Today, I made up my mind I would go for an out and about with my camera, the pain was a bit much but, I was determined to get some fall pictures at South Common Park in Lowell. Here are some!

A Retreat in Maine

I work part-time as a Resident Service Coordinator for the Caleb Group/Caleb Foundation. Twice each year (spring  & fall) we leave for a two day retreat. This Fall we were in Maine, for the grand opening of a newly acquired property, then stayed at the Beachmere in Ogunquit, Maine. A beautiful place to say the least, I will be returning with family and friends.
