Counting Down

Bidding adieu to 2012 with pizza, cookies, and most importantly, people who bring me oodles of joy.

Forever grateful.  Hello 2013!

Snow Art

In Savie, France Simon Beck spends days plodding through the snow in snowshoes creating these sensational patterns. Working for 5-9 hours a day, each final piece is typically the size of three soccer fields.  Beck designs and redesigns the patterns as new snow falls, sometimes unable to finish a piece due to significant overnight accumulations. Interestingly enough, he said, 'The main reason for making them was because I can no longer run properly due to problems with my feet, so plodding about on level snow is the least painful way of getting exercise.  Spectacular art for the sake of exercise!

Merry Christmas

A THOUSAND MORNINGS

All night my heart makes its way
however it can over the rough ground
of uncertainties, but only until night
meets and then is overwhelmed by
morning, the light deepening, the
wind easing and just waiting, as I
too wait (and when have I ever been
disappointed?) for redbird to sing.
