Trying to get back into the swing of things here at dA.
I have loads of art to upload, and many messages to catch up on.
Plus I have decided to give the journal here at dA a fresh look,
just as the website went through an over haul with a new website design.
That is about all I have to say for now, need to get back to
the business of catching up here for right now.

My apologies for being away.
Not been here much at all since my nephew was murdered.
He was only 21 years of age, with a son that turned 1
a week an half after he was killed.
Been healing as best I can from the shock, rage, and sadness.
You can see some pics of him at age 18 in my stock account:

He looked good at 18 but was even more handsome at 21.
I miss him terribly, I watched him from the first month of his life, as a baby sitter.
He grew into a wonderful young man, and a very good friend.
It took me a long while to remember that I needed to go on living
a life outside of silly old FB, after he was gone.

I also lost my uncle, my dog, and my horse in the last year, so I have been a little wonky and out of it at times.
I have still been working and such, just diving into work really, to forget for a moment, and another moment.
One breath at a time!
Sometimes I can hear Kyle's laughter on the wind,
and I know that he calling me a big baby,
and telling me to cowgirl up!

So here I am back in the saddle, so to speak, nothing to put that saddle on, so this one is metaphoric...grin.
Hope to be catching up at DA in the coming days.

In Celebration of Earth Day

"Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time."
~Motto of the Baltimore Grotto, a caving society


"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more."
~George Gordon, Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage

Take a bit of time to day to honor our planet, our mother, and our home by celebrating Earth Day.
Plant a tree, work in your garden, donate to a worthy enviormental group,
fill a planter with flowers, browse dA for stunning earth art, or just sit out and soak up the
sun while resting your back against the planet's skin. Rejoice, and sing for with out this planet,
our Earth, we would not have a home. Let us all come together and pledge to protect this home
for our children, and our children's children!

Happy Earth Day to All

"Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect."
~Chief Seattle, 1855

Just One More Journal Test .... I promise

A new journal skin was in order so I put this one together. I tried various other skins from dA resources but nothing really suited what I was looking for so I took some time ot and designed my own graphics and css. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. Didn't even take more than an evening and a bit of the night.

Been working on types of stuff of late from logo design, to an adorable ballerina fairy. Will be getting them all uploaded and posted here soon. There is also going ot be a mass upload over at the stock account.

Generic thanks and explanation…

Many of you may of noticed that I am horrible at correspondence
on social groups site or community gallery type sites like dA.

I am truly sorry about that, I get busy working, and tending to the
every day responsibilities I have, plus dealing with Crohns that I loose
track of many other things.

Yet now there is new twist to the busy day I have, it is dA deviation stacks
from groups. I know I am missing out on way more art than I have the time to see.
Before I just scanned through the page of deviation I had built up and browsed through
to what ever caught my eye. Now I am getting hit with stack after stack all piled
up on top of one another and frankly the extra time it takes to go through
these stacks is putting me off looking. The same with message stacks. They just don't fit
Into my daily schedule, they take to much time to through with all the extra clicking and
waiting for pages to load.

So until I adjust to all the changes I am going to post a generic THANK YOU here
For all the favs and comments I have been getting. You all are so wonderful and I am touched by all the words and favs I have been getting.

Now I need to get back to work and hopefully get over to my stock account here sometime afternoon. I shudder to think of what my messages and deviations look like over there.
