What do you see?
A wine glass of water reflecting the blue of the sun umbrella above and the green of lilac leaves?
Or, do you see a glass garden of shimmering greens and drifts of blue? A moment of dancing light and water-coloured imaginings. A cool breath of light and air.
Take a sip from this glass garden.
Taste this pause. This breeze. This bit of wonder on a warm afternoon.
And, remember to drink deeply, always, of this elixir we call summer.

Hi, again. It’s been awhile. Attempting a little comeback here. I’m going to select a photo a week, or so, and write to it. It’s a summertime affair with words and photographs.
Why don’t you join me?

I just had to come back and visit again. This is really lovely Juli.
Oh, Ginny! Thank you! And, thank you for being my first comment on this new exploration.
I just read a quote that really struck a chord – I think you will like it –
‘You are an aperture through which The Universe is looking at and exploring itself.’ – Alan Watts
I think this is what creativity is…’the ‘Universe exploring itself.’ We just have to open the aperture – and create.
I find this quote and your words so encouraging as I put my tenderly made yet uncertain creation out into the world.
So grateful to you, Ginny. Thank you.
I have certainly missed your voice here – so good to see your image and words arrive in my inbox today.
This image – such depth and complexity within its simplicity. So much to ponder and consider within this garden of glass.
Thank you, Brenda, so much! I felt like I let down the side, but I ran dry. No words. For some time. But, it feels as though the well is filling up, again. We shall see. Thank you for your wonderful, ever-present, incredible support.
So great to have your art and words back with us again, Juli! This image is so painterly. A moment of summer in a glass. Lovely.
Donna, You are amazing! Thank you so much for your thoughtful words, generously given. Thank you for being there and for being the artist you are in all you do! Was at a brunch today and someone said – with delight – Donna Tranquada is back on the air, which got the whole group talking. It was a full-on Tranquada fan-club moment! You are LOVED! xx
Hi, Juli! I’m late to the party because I’ve been traveling, but I’m so happy to see you back here! Your glass garden is filled with abstract summer beauty, a glass more than half full. It’s so good to hear your lovely voice again.
