Bradley Palmer Park

I guess I’m in love with this place.  It’s where Kevin and I go walking often. It’s a state Park, and there is a paved road through the park.

There are numerous other trails off into the woods.  We take those trails sometimes, but it’s just so easy to walk the paved road, and go home.  We don’t have to worry so much about deer ticks this way.

But, before we turn around and head back we stop at the stone house.  It fascinates me, and I love to photograph it. I only had my iphone with me the other day, but I’m sharing some of the pictures.

I’m hoping the state doesn’t let this beautiful stone structure go to ruin.  It looks like that may be happining.  I’d love to see the inside, too.  Well, I would have loved to have visited the inside before it sat for so many years.  I’m sure the inside is damp, and full of spider webs and nests. This will be an interesting subject to paint...

My Valentine Contributions




IMG_0060


I’ve been playing around with hearts.  It’s been fun !

I came up with 3D heart earrings, a few felt pins, a couple of journals, and a “Heartfelt Doodle.”  All in the name of Valentine’s Day.

These are an example of my 3D Heart Earrings.

They are kind of unique because I fashioned them out of specialty paper and even tissue boxes. As you know my Muse likes to Upcycle.
