Sunday Smiles!

Mothtales Delights!

I've been quite ill the last few weeks, and hope to heal soon.  But while in bed, I have slowly added new treasures to my Mothtales Tumblr blog.  Have a look and let me know what you think! 

As always, when on Mothtales, press on the photo and you will see the image completely, press again, and you will be taken to its source!

Slumber...

How perfect is this photo???

Thanksgiving Travels...

Tomorrow morning we leave for our Annual Thanksgiving in Minnesota!  I am looking forward to a white turkey day (hopefully...), and fun visits with family and friends.

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING BE HEARTFELT AND SAFE!

Finding Magic...

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Moody Seasons...

Something about these photos by Billy & Hells strike a chord with me today. They seem historic, yet not. Faces boldly looking out, but also dreamy and nostalgic.  Perfect for a change of season!

Haunted Wednesday...

Wouldn't you love to live next door to this house???  Oh the stories it could tell...  But of course, first you need to walk through these haunted woods, step by cautious step...  Are you loving the chills as much as I am?  Mid-October and the weather has changed.  Noises in the night seem to make us jump a little higher...

Found and Honored...

Kimbrini has a wonderful set of photos on Flickr, using 'found' animals and birds composed and photographed with a sense of grace and magic.  She brings a sense of wonder to death, that is not often found in art.

   

Historic Poetics...

Looking at the photos of Deborah Turbeville is like stepping back in time into another world.  A time of romance, decadence and beauty.  Her images evoke music in our hearts and thoughts of quiet encounters with otherworldly beings - times to take pause and slow down, and discover the grace that lies within our reach...

Photographic Fables...

I adore these photos by Italian photographer Roberto Kusterle.  His work brings to mind fables and fairy-tales, as well as deep emotions...   These images, in particular, are very stirring and wonderful at the same time!

Happy Saturday!

May Angel Award!

Dearest Anita of  Castles, Crowns and Cottages has named me her May Angel on her blog!  Even more touchingly she wrote this poem - which I am honored to share with you here!  Thank you Anita for letting me be part of the magic you share!!!  

(Underwater Angels by Zena Holloway)

   

Glittered dreams are far from futile
When within them hearts unfold
This my friends is but a story
Of dimensions left untold

Wake up dear ones in the company
Of friends and artists minds untamed
Bringing dreams down from the heavens
In an image beautifully framed

Not with baubles, gems or trinkets
Though her art is fine and rare
Friendship, kindness are her treasures
Up at Castles in the Air.

HOPE...

“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.”

—French Proverb

Believing in Dreams...

Hard not to LOVE these photos by Kitty Kora.  I remember the days when all it took was a little dress-up fun to change ones outlook on life!!!
