beautiful home white
When I found the beautiful white bones in the desert I picked them up and took them home too...I have used these things to say what is to me the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it.
inspirational fall creativity
I have lived on a razors edge. So what if you fall off. I'd rather be doing something I wanted to do. I'd walk it again.

inspirational nature flower

littles sun evening
In the evening I go up in the desert and spend hours watching the sun go down, just enjoying it, and every day I go out and watch it again. I draw some and there is a little painting and so the days go by.
