Self expression through creativity is the focus today and each day whether it is art, photography, brush painting or haiku. These activities fill each day whether we drive to the next town in search of unique and creative photos or are on our daily walks. Creativity surrounds us in nature as well as within our home, visiting blogs and it is there to be seen ~ so simple yet so divine.
We are also involved with Rebecca's 12 Days of Mary which has a separate page on this blog just below the 'header photo'. (click it on to see my various days of mary) It is not about religion; it is about the divine feminine surrounding us all.
We are also sharing and participating with:

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, like Gloria I had trouble making the page land on the comment section. I think there may be animation or music here that my old, old computer doesn't mesh well with. Anyway, I love the snowman. We can't get enough hugs, nor can we give too many. Your sunny background for your wonderful haiku is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe painting was very cute!!! So simple, but so festive! The haiku, was wonderful! And the photo.. that was quite lovely.. reminded me of a country Christmas! Very lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet and rustic photo for Foto Friday,
