an ocean of color

Pond Murmurings

It’s hot and humid out today which makes me long for my toes to be wiggling in the sand, standing next to ocean with a breeze that whips my hair and wraps me in summer. Instead school is still in session and our beach trip is months away. So my day requires an abundance of imagination and true grit to get me through it. Honestly I’m whining. I have a beautiful garden I can escape to when the going gets tough. In fact, my garden and pond and all of the living creatures within…from the birds to the bugs…are what inspire most of my art.
