We Will Be Saying Goodbye to Our Area

Come late October, we will no longer be 5 minutes from Whitby Harbour, nor Halls Rd. Though we won't be far. Still we will be within 20 mins of those favourite spots. We won't be able to just walk to Whitby Harbour, but we can easily drive weekend mornings to spend a few hours in the areas we have grown to love. Our time in Whitby and the things we discovered, will always be cherished and we look forward to new routines and some same ones like going out for walks at Leslie Spit, having kids over, and watching movies. One thing I do know is we will be living with whatever colour is in our new home till we feel like painting. A warm and spicy Mexican palette is planned, which we both love. A couple little artsy projects I hope to do, will be fun, and we can take our time. One will be incorporating many little interesting items we have collected on our walks, under glass as our eating bar top - something we can do ourselves with relatively little expense and will be personal and have meaning.

Cool Mexican Colors!

While looking for Mexican themed colours, I ran across a photographer, Jim Nilsen, who had some wonderful images he has shot in Mexico. I truly love this one and I love the colour scheme! Have chosen to keep note of some of these colours, particularly the electric blue tones.

His prints are very reasonably priced and would be beautiful as small accent pieces on a wall.

Baby Turkeys!

We went for a morning walk this morning and were lucky to get to see the baby turkeys! There are a couple of earlier posts about when we saw the male turleys in the spring, all fancy and strutting around and fighting. These little cuties are the result! So cute. They remind me of little prehistoric creatures.

My Zazzle Store

I have not been posting much in here lately, having decided to devote a lot of my leisure time to building my Zazzle store, Natural Design. I do have another blog dedicated just to my store as well.

I have shot so many images over the last few years, hundreds of which I really love, some have become all time favourite captures of mine! I approach my photography artisitically first, technically second. It is not as satisfying as painting, but it is coming closer each day for me.

My store has many choices and designs, many have been born from images I have shot and enjoy, and have been enjoyed by others who have seen them as well. Zazzle is a wonderful venue and the products I myself have purchased, in the past and just recently, have solidified my opinion in Zazzle as a Great venue. It is owned by the same family who started it over a decade before.
