Inspiration is All Around Us

I have been reading the book "The Nine Modern Day Muses" 10 Guides to Creative Inspiration for Artists, Poets, Lovers and other mortals wanting to live a dazzling existence. The book is written by Jill Baldwin Badonsky On page 37 of her book she writes:

"If we pay attention to the present moment we will discover that inspiration is not
elusive nor out of reach. There is already an unfathomable amount of inspiration right in front of us. Creative electricity is everywhere and when we connect to the voltage of our awareness anything in our environment can become a conductor of new ideas. Everything from the way the grass blows, to the music of a child's laughter can become the art of our lives and the substance of artistic expression."


So at the end of this gorgeous day I captured some magical moments from the world in my backyard for my visual diary.


The sun is setting and the evening air is cool and dry. The honeysuckle has thrived in the wet weather that has occurred this May.


How heavenly it smells as the breeze carries the fragrance across the yard. I took some shots of my favorite flowers,


my furry friend Daisy playing peek a boo


and Ron mowing the grass.


Daisy has played so hard, having a ball with us in the back yard she decides to take a nap while I go through the mail.


Going through the mail I discover my ACEO I bought from Tammy of Light and Shawdow Studio has arrived. A gorgeous wolf with a Witch flying across a yellow moon. The photo does not do it justice. The perfect end to a wonderful day!
