inspiration...

Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 8 June 2009 in Art & Design and Portfolio.

I've been off the radar again. We've been working on finishing our backyard and it's now done. Looks fantastic, too. And with all this incredible weather we've been enjoying, I must say that sitting down at a computer is getting very difficult. The need to be outside watching the hummers fight over the feeders, the turkey vultures soaring overhead, the barn swallows flitting about chasing the bugs.... is taking precedence. I guess what I'm saying is that I won't be posting much... and I don't blame you if you don't come by for a visit. However, I am going to catch up with everyone's posts..... just that I won't be posting as much. My aren't I articulate today LOL!!!

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

@john4jack: Thanks Jack... I've even posted for tomorrow... but can't promise for Wednesday ;-) Mind you, the one I've posted for tomorrow was gelling in my brain all day. The idea hit me and inspiration drove me out of the yard and in front of my computer. You are a sweetie... sooo appreciate your enthusiasm for my work ;-)

I know exactly what you mean. Between being busy with life and work...the summer weather makes it so that the time in front of the computer is not top priority. It seems blog activity always drops off this time of year both ways. I queue posts to auto run for weeks in advance otherwise this time of year my blog would come to a complete standstill.

Love the minimalism of this one.

@Laurie: I'm so off the radar that I can't even seem to pre-post and let things auto run. My brother came up with a new word which I think best describes me in the summer... procrast-inertia. Isn't that great?!! LOL!! Thanks, Laurie!!

All your hard work has paid off Amy, your backyard looks amazing! and i can certainly see why sitting out there in the georgous weather is much more appealing than sitting at the computer :)

I need to forward your comments to my sister and her husband who are moving out of their beautiful ocean front home and moving into your park. I'm pretty sure they will be very happy there, nevertheless a big adjustment. Ray and I are just going to start creating a garden space and you are right too nice to be sitting at a computer. I am being very sporadic too. Oh right, the picture.....love it!!!
