A Dream

AN ARTIST

DSC02565I was trying to enter that place where dreams live.

That little creative garden within, that leads to inspiration.

GARDEN GATE

I was trying to get lost in the gardens of ideas, peeking around for magic.

Forest-eyes

DSC02565You know that place, where garden gates open and lead you to lovely places in your mind...

Garden Entrance

And then it happens,

HOPE YOUR SUNDAY IS FULL OF SUNSHINE

The inspiration blooms.



Then you begin to glide along the ideas,

Follow the thoughts

Enchanting

That lead to a new creation.

Swan's Nest

After a short while, you give birth to that creation.

BLUE FLOWER IN MY GARDEN

Creating is like a dream,

the-novel

DSC02565No matter what you are creating, cooking, baking, writing, speaking, sewing, crocheting, knitting, quilting, crafting, photographing, planting, gardening, designing, composing, performing, singing, decorating, building, homemaking, flower arranging, drawing, molding, it all leads to the same door.

The secret garden

DSC02565The door of creativity leads to a renewed spirit.

We are all artists,

I'm drooling over your photos. It's sunny here and if you look carefully you can see spring already. There are all little green sprouts in the garden. The helleborus blooms and the camellia is about too. Once in a while you can see the fish again in our pond. We have to have a little patience.
Thanks for sharing so much color. Have a nice day!

ps a happy year of the ox to you too!
