quiet

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, 

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; 

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, 

In the bleak midwinter, long ago. 

I had the most relaxing holiday. It is funny how removing yourself from your life , even a few city blocks  , can allow you to forget , regroup and gain perspective. I spent an entire afternoon by the fire going over the Branding section of my redleafstudio workshop and making an inspiration board on Pinterest. I hope your Holidays provide some quiet moments. 

People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.  ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

playing with shadow and light , more to come.

Frosty inspiration

I deperately miss having the time to pick up my camera and do something creative and beautiful.
Wearing Carharts every spare minute and doing constuction work is not the same LOL.
Now more than ever I love to take a coffee break and admire the work that some of my fellow photogs are doing these days , it truly feeds my soul.
