February - Finding creativity in the middle of winter

February is the hardest month of the year for me, as I know it is for a lot of people.  It's cold, so you don't want to go out, but then you stay inside WAY too much and get cabin fever.  Also, there's no light, and little money (taxes & Christmas bills).  Every year I try to poke my little gopher head out of the cold ground and find something to inspire me.  I almost always find it at the Denver Botanic Gardens - my second home.  So here are some of my pictures from trying to find art amoungst the seemingly deadness of winter.

Happy February Everyone!!!

I'm looking forward to spring :)

13 Jan 2015 - pickles

13 Jan 2015. Making Pickles. I love pickles. I LOVE them. Even more, I love making my own out of fresh hot house cucumbers. While I was rinsing the salt off a cucumber that I was about to pickle, I snapped a shot. Not exciting, but the little things in life sometimes get us through the winter.

2015 - Creativity Resoltuion

My New Years Resolution......to be inspired.  I got a book on Alfred Stieglitz from the library, and saw a selfie that he did in his office.  I was inspired to do one in my kitchen.  It's kind of my office.  So a caveat should be given about this photo: I was having a really bad day.  I won't go into specifics, but instead of hide it, I decided to pose exactly how I was feeling.  Tired and defeated.  Truth in photos.  Here it is.  2015 here I come.
