Summer Solstice 2014

Happy Summer Solstice to everyone! The perfect holiday with no expectations. No one is disappointed or left out; everyone can enjoy the long hours of daylight. Even here a couple of degrees south of the tropic of cancer the days are longer althought the weather is the same. I am in a happy routine of doing my art, reading, swimming, walking, visiting beautiful spots to sketch the flora and fauna as well as people or even statues sometimes. Living on a budget promps me to find the good free/low cost things to do like parades and fireworks, parks and gardens, miles and miles of beaches. When protected sea creatures are up  on  the beach they are roped off and if information is know about them the volunteers who watch to protect them  will share what they know. Which is how I know the sea turtle I drew was named Buster. So small pleasures are bountiful.

  2. Wonderful to hear from you Ruth Ann! Life sounds calm, but very rich, and I am so glad for you. You are such an observer, and then have the gift to express what you have felt and learned - just lovely! I hope the rest of the summer plays out beautifully for you, my dear! Love, Claudia
