La conner Walk about

It was a  beautiful sunny day yesterday.

Before I went into work I walked 

through downtown La Conner.

So peaceful and full of character.

Such a great place to unwind.

This is a wine shop's deck.

Nice new sign for the seafood house.

Sign is better than the food.

Nell thorn's for great food.

But there food is better than

their sign.

The rainbow bridge which is actually orange.

The slough.

Sail your boat up and have a meal and a walk.

Peaceful courtyard of a long time shop.

I am very fortunate to have grown up in such a 

beautiful area.  Anacortes, La Conner, Kirkland

I love them all.

Where Women Create

I picked up a copy of

the latest

Where Women Create.

Look, my favorite cheerleaders.

I say that because, as an artist.

We need an arsenal of friends like these two.

(And yes I am going to call myself an artist,

but I believe we all are in one way or the other.)

Jen O'Conner

and

Jo Packham

 The two most vocal advocates I 

know of creativity. They are 

a dynamic duo.

Valuable allies, supporter and necessary shoulders

to cry on, and high 5'ers to celebrate with.

Anyone who is fortunate to cross paths

we these two dynamos is lucky indeed.

And look.

Road Show in Saratoga.

May 19th and 20th.

At Schuyler pond

Here is my little picture.

Very cool planter...

And you will just have to purchase the

magazine to see all the rest of the inspiring

content.  I love looking at what other people

create, think and feel.  A snapshot of what

I consider my tribe.  Creativity breeds creativity.

So go catch a glimpse and be inspired.

And hope to see you there.

Spring Show in Saratoga Springs New York

I leave in a few weeks for

EarthAngel Spring Fling.

I can't wait to see the east coast this

time of year.

Here in the valley it is beautiful.

Cherry trees are blooming, Lilacs will

be blooming in another week.

I stopped at the tulip fields this morning. It was early and

on my way back to Anacortes from Kirkland.  The fields were

not open so I took these pictures from the locked gate.

Happy Spring.

Are you blooming?
