I stop often, sometimes to pick up fallen flowers, seeds, petals, pebbles, feathers … and at other times to write about something that touched a chord or taught a lesson. In hindsight, I realize that these moments enrich my life. They give me an opportunity to view things with fresh eyes and all that is around me, with awe and reverence.

The joy of sketching and painting keeps me motivated to find new subjects and new views.

This journal is a light-hearted observation of nature through words, sketches and watercolor illustrations.
