Come Wander Along with Me...

I wander...it is simply what I do.  Since I was a young girl, my parent's tried everything to keep me close to home, going to such  measures as to buy me goats.  Though I loved my goats, my heart still  wandered.  

Growing up in rural New Jersey, I was surrounded by dense woods and long stretches of farm land to fuel my imagination.   I felt at home in the arms of the forest and spent many days laying upon the fragrant mossy soil staring up through the filter of leaves... watching the light dance.  It is these experiences that I work to remember.

In adulthood, I discovered the joy of capturing those precious moments, through my camera's lens.  Though the many years in between my youth and the present, I have enjoyed many wonderful adventures and am currently wandering in another people's land.  For the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of living in Europe and learning to look at life in a very different way.   

Through my images and my wanderings, I hope you will enjoy seeing the world around you... in a new way.

So...I invite you to "Come Wander Along with Me..."

Inspiration…An Hour in the Greenhouse

Thursday, March 4, 2010 at 3:51am Posted in Around my Village, Experiments, Germany, Living in Europe, Local Color, Observations

I took some time yesterday from the realities of “what needs to be done” to wander over to my local garden center for it’s annual Camellia exhibit. It is kind of special to have unfettered alone time in a beautifully decorated greenhouse, just me and the Camellias. I had a full hour to wander about before anyone started to arriving to share the beauty with me.
When your creative juices start waning or feeling taxed, take time to search out visually inspiring locations to replenish your creative battery.

If you are in the Ladenburg Germany area make sure to plan a stop at our local tree school and garden center. Here is their link:

Also come along on a quick walk with me visually through the exhibit..
