Roberts Rock Farm - 365 days of Photos

The Fly is there you just have to seek it out!

Here are my boyz standing infront of their marks on the door frame in our home.  You can see how they "grow" and quickly too! We mesure them about every six months. Yes when I leave this house the door frame will too!

Another Lake Shot - (Heavy Metal?)

I loved the smooth and the rough of this shot!

Day Three assignment is to seek out MULTILAYERED - Here are the two things I found! I love the first image because it includes lights and darks, and three different hard textures. This is not one solid wall, the darker stones are closest to me, the an iron fence with a stone wall set back further then the lighter color and softer texture of the building higher up and set back even more! Then there are these golden yummy layered treats! Cookies and cream set on a colorful plate and nastry 60's wallpaper on my kitchen wall! Care to join us? Click on this link!

Journal Prompts: Now it’s your turn. Name some of your biggest creative buzz kills, including a person or two, and disarm them! ....For example: A classic creative buzz kill is thinking that you just don’t have the talent that other people have. But the truth is that most people are born with a drive that they work on and perfect which then becomes a talent. For proof of this, try to dig around online and view some of your favorite artist’s early work. Everyone starts somewhere…and for most of us, it’s at the bottom. As I mentioned yesterday I have always felt that need to create. From knitting, crocheting, drawing, building, photography, scrapbooking to whatever moves me. I love to write and I am not always the best at it, but I get my thoughts down and move forward from there. But having a "creative buzz kill" really bites. In our society today I see that it is not one person, place or thing that can bring us down, but more like a whole group or "society" that...

Day Two ~ Journal Prompt: Do you shy away from calling yourself an artist? If so, what do you think makes someone else an artist and not you? What are some ways that you can start today to outwardly reflect your inner artist? Name three people who you would be comfortable sharing your creative work and projects with. Do I shy away?  I would have to say NO, I do not shy away from calling myself an artist! I love Art and I love to create! I can see why others have a hard time claiming to be an artist, but I was raised by a woman who is very creative, and very artistic. She has lots talent, more than I do! I have different talents then she does but we both can stand proud to say that we are artistic and we love to be creative. I do have to admit that I have to show my inner artist more! Even though, I love to paint, knit, write, take photos and in general create, I have very few ways of sharing my creative nature. Ways (ie outlets!) Even I have plenty of art work that I have done...

Pretty hard assignment since my family and I were traveling on our way home all day today!  So I tried hard to figure out how I could find or use "Picnic" and in our travels (7 hours of travel) I found a non-traditional picnic. Let me tell you that my 8yo told me that the tables looked like large pickles on top of burger buns and the trashcans looked like fry boxes.  No need to wonder where he gets his tought process!!

365-165 These are the steps at my parents house they travel fromt he Lake to the house. They are also wide and deep and a major cause of most boo boos at their house, especially with two young (fast) boys!
