Alissa’s Creations

My daughter, Alissa, is multi-talented. She created these two necklaces and pairs of earrings for me. I have several other creations she made over the years including other expressions of her artistry. Both my son and daughter are writers as well. These are truly ‘my people’:)

Jealousy or Joy?

Jealousy or Joy… what do we feel? What do we see?

On the Quebec Side 2

Skies can be dramatic or calm over any landscape but I always seem to feel an atmosphere of energy that differs wherever people dwell. Some places I avoid with caution and others draw me to them with a resonant harmony so uplifting. I enjoy-feel joy- driving country roads, especially near lakes like Lake Temiskaming, regardless of weather.

I’d like to explore that side road sometime.
Here’s a bird that knows how to ‘ride the waves’.
While we were at Fort Temiskaming, the sun shone brightly as the rain came down all around.
On the way back home, I was fascinated by both clouds and landscape.
The greys of the road, the clouds and the silo all seemed in harmony.
I don’t recall ever following those arrows, so that will be another day.
A glimpse of sunlight on a golden field…
Wrapped harvest
Harvest under a stormy sky
Farm animals in distant fields…
Fields near Notre-Dame-du-Nord close to the Ontario border and home in Temiskaming Shores on the Ontario side of Lake Temiskaming… a short drive but it always feels like an adventure.
