You're right Milly, it wouldn't work otherwise. Alas, the shell was inhabited, otherwise I would have pocketed it too. It is a good thing to be a tourist in your own area, as you say. So easy not to take a look at what's right around you - I'm very guilty of that, but trying to change it.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674923395134039554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939857316909930127.post-48469541913323485902011-09-28T02:54:20.402-07:002011-09-28T02:54:20.402-07:00Sometimes it is good to get away from everything a...Sometimes it is good to get away from everything and take a holiday, be a tourist in your own area. Good to enjoy the open spaces, take in the views and see the nature. That snail shell would have been coming home with me, well if it was empty. You have been busy, hope you feel refreshed and inspired. <br />As for taking over the house, I have spread into many rooms, you just need an understanding husband! My patchwork fabrics and sewing project stay unfinished for long lengths of time. Lovely photograph of you.<br />Glad to see you back.xMILLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395849852360784841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939857316909930127.post-26352913099474826802011-09-17T06:14:42.754-07:002011-09-17T06:14:42.754-07:00I love being taken off guard in that wonderful way...I love being taken off guard in that wonderful way which only nature is capable of.

Glad you enjoyed the post. It seems quite a few of us have been taking it easy. Hope that you're all rested and regenerated for the school year. Where did that Summer go?! <br /><br />Thanks, Jan. At first I wasn't going to post a picture of myself, but then when I think how curious to see the face behind the blogs I read, I thought I ought to do so. <br /><br />I could hardly believe the slug and the stone, Donna. Nothing like nature to knock you on your backside. Glad you like the paintings - even in their raw forms. They're closer to completion now.<br /><br />The papers with their subtle, natural colours is difficult for me. I've always found it incredibly challenging to recreate those muted colours - I either go too subtle, or start getting into slightly "icky" colours. Hopefully I can finally get something going here! <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post, Sue. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />There is so much atmosphere in those old churches - I agree, Thilda. It's great when there aren't to many people and you can sit and really experience that - regardless of any religious connection. It goes beyond that, to something deeper and universal in us. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your visit and comment, Donna. I like the way you described it!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674923395134039554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939857316909930127.post-2866879679116067532011-08-20T22:33:44.966-07:002011-08-20T22:33:44.966-07:00You always have so much in your blog posts.. it is...You always have so much in your blog posts.. it is like going on a long walk with a friend.. your collection of rocks, pebbles, shells etc are all the colors and textures I love..

I really enjoy seeing a photo tour of your adventures ~ the orange slug and the rock spiral are especially WOW and your paintings are beautiful, even in the early stages! <br /><br />The collage papers are lovely as well. I think it takes a particular kind of talent to use such subtle colors and shading to their best advantage.

I love all the photos of the mountains and the gargoyles and the hiding green-leafy being at the foot of the confessional. I like this photo of you, it is nice to see the face behind the blog and this one is wonderful with the bit of one of those beautiful, atmospheric paintings... <br /><br />I, too, have been not so computer-y lately. I know a post is due, as well as many other things. Just a couple more weeks until school starts again.
