Dream Catcher




“The dream was always running ahead of me.
To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.” Anais Nin


My contribution to Sky Watch Friday, links to hundreds of others who are posting photos of their view of the sky from around the world.









This is a fun circular page we created recently celebrating the circle of life and new arrivals. Lots of creative imagery going on here. Buttons and ribbons to reflect the talented needleworkers in our family. The postage stamps represent Canada the land of my birth, the rose stamp is from my daughter’s wedding announcements and a little true blue aussie for our new granddaughter.

A peaceful picture. Struck me immediately and I am obviously not the only one to feel it.

That catamaran isn't going anywhere for a few hours yet! That is a lovely set of mud flats you have in your photo this week. Gerald had mudflats in one of his images, too. Good capture ...

Beautiful page! What a great view. We love the water and long to be closer to it. There is something about waves crashing that makes a person slow down and enjoy the moment. Have a blessed day!

Mandy: Less is Bore! said...

Wow, you have a way with words. What you said about photographing an unwilling subject is beautiful! You took the words from my mouth.

Thanx for your kind comment on my blog, way too much credit, but hey. I was lucky enough to get published once, but it's okay. I am doing this for me and posterity and working under pressure isn't my creative starter...

I love the vintage feel of your stuff. (I couldn't find that word yesterday.) You make past days revive again...Keep it up!
