Inspiration. Finally.

After two months of exhaustingly stressful hard work, I made my escape.. with Daughter #2 in tow.

We're in Washington state, visiting my parents. I took my camera, looking for inspiration. I think I found some.

There are little pockets, spaces of green and peace everywhere in this house. This is good fung shui, right here. The water flows toward the house, bringing in prosperity.

Hellebor or Lenten Rose, says Mom. Beautiful, says I.

It's March and there are flowers everywhere.

I think we brought the snow with us. Mom says snow in March is unusual for this area.

Makes for pretty pictures, though.

The mist in the hills was magical.

I wanted the ice on the plum blossoms.

She takes such great photos, I like to put Shelley's in here when I catch them. She took this one of the 'Littles' a couple weeks ago.
