Slow Start

It's been slow going as far as posting here for 2010. I have been utilizing my time and really trying to wrap up the rest of my web site which I am now hoping to have LIVE by the end of January.
Life gets in the way of projects sometimes and I am okay with that. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am heading to GA next week for 4 days! Should be great. I am heading down to see my brother graduate from Ranger School. The kid is a BAD ASS. But as an older brother I can still put him down! :)

I will be bringing the camera and taking pics as he will be tending to the break down of Ranger school and preparing for graduation ceremonies. My mom and I will be exploring when we are not with him. Should be a blast!

If I don't post that much the rest of the month you know why.... I AM BUSY!!! :)

I will be back.

Cheers!

Merry Christmas

Although it doesn't feel like Christmas around here with the weird weather we have been having and even though it's a wee bit early to be sending this out... Merry Christmas everyone!

I created this card to spread some joy and say Merry Christmas to all! I also want to thank you for reading my blog and taking an interest in me and my art! :)

I hope to have some new art posted but for now it's the Xmas card!!!

Spread the holiday spirit!!

Welcome HOME!

I am and have been back on American soil for about a week now. I have been fighting off a cold and trying to get back in the swing of things.

It's hard to adjust to a totally different lifestyle. I went from working everyday, to traveling everyday, back to going to work. I know what you are thinking, " it was only for a week"! Yes, it is true, I only traveled for a week, but you get so wrapped up in what your doing, you are thinking different thought, living a different lifestyle and sometimes you don't want to live any other.

I can definitely see myself traveling the world, even if it's for a short amount of time and in small trips like my recent visit to Ireland. 

Anyways, enough of my rambling... How was the trip? How was Ireland? It was bloody freakin' brilliant!!! I only slept 6 hours in the first two days of being there. That definitely took it's toll on my immune system as the trip went on. Lack of sleep is never good. 

Nonetheless, my brother's and I had a blast. A trip for the memory banks. We will remember this always.  Hopefully I (we) will be able to make back to the motherland again. However, until that time comes, I have these photos and a bunch more to remind me of the trip.

The first photo is of me kissing the Blarney Stone. To the right, I am in front of the Guinness Brewery!!! It was better than I imagined.  Next up are the Cliffs of Mohr. They were absolutely breathtaking. I took a picture of a few brightly colored doors while I was over there. Someday when I have my own place, I will be painting my front door a vibrant Red or an electrifying Yellow! That way I will never go into the wrong house on the way home from the bars.  ;) Finally, there is a picture of all three of us enjoy a pint of Ireland's finest!

That's all for now folks! I can definitely say with no regret, "There is no place like home". Besides, I don't like being away from my g/f.  I was missing my love waaaay too much.  :)

Cheers!

Stop and Smell Them Roses

I woke up this morning like I do any Monday morning and I was on my way to work. As I was driving toward Rt. 25 West bound, the sun rise caught my eye in the rear view mirror.

Now this has happened to me on several occasions and every time this happens I always say I will stop the next time and take some pictures and that rarely if at all happens.

Finally I decide to seize the opportunity that was thrown my way and I turned my car around to take some pictures of the beautiful sunrise that started to shine across a foggy lake Winnipesaukee.

Here are a few of the pictures I took enjoy!
