An Artist's Life

Travelling with Blip

"Oh, the places you'll go!" ~ Dr. Seuss

This should be the mantra of blip since every day, I get to follow the antics of a little brown dog in Australia; then over the ocean to Scotland where a Schnauzer willingly shows us wherever he's gone for the day. A glimpse of English gardens, parks and flowers reminds me to tend my own. There are chickens in sweaters and cats on windowsills. The forests of Finland and Germany beckon with dark, green arms. The windmills continue to stand proudly in Holland and the sea's sunsets are captured brilliantly as kiters fly through the scene. The palms of Spain wave a sunny hello.  There's a small island named Mull that waves across the globe to us. There's a French loaf that bounces across the globe and one that wanders the forests of Fontainebleau. There's a few just a 9 hour drive away! We congratulate, console, cajole and commiserate with each other....sometimes in our pajamas. when we do meet in person, we fall immediately into familiar conversation. In any case...we never feel alone. There's a friend at the other end of your phone, laptop or desktop...wondering how you're doing this very day.

This special place should continue, and it can if we ALL contribute:
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go."  ~ Dr. Seuss
