Saturday, April 28th, 2007
This red bench is one of many on a newly built walkway along the shoreline of Lake Chapala in the small, charming town of San Crystobal De Las Casas. The True Colors photographic series and website is my creative tribute to the colorful landscapes, culture and style of south-central Mexico. One hundred of my favorite photos out of the thousand-plus taken have been selected for the website, developed separately from the main website to highlight the project as one complete and independent Art endeavor.
Using the Paint Shop Pro computer program I’ve isolated a main portion of each shot, then superimposed this colored image on top of a black and white version of the same photo. Altering the photos this way has a powerful effect on our impression of the subject matter. In some cases the true colors intensify so much against the grey tones the scene becomes surreal. The collection can be viewed at http://www.trucolors.info
Credit and many thanks to my husband for encouraging and co-creating the True Colors website, as well as all websites associated with my Artwork.

It wasn’t until reviewing all the photos I took this evening that I noticed a tiny surprise on one of the Linden flower buds. Right place, right time. Thank you Universe!

Fossil Rim Wildlife Park near Glen Rose, Texas is an excellent way to spend a winter afternoon with the family. A drive through the park takes about three hours, and you may be greeted by this cutie!

Sunset, 6:30 p.m. along Hwy 121
Friday, November 24th, 2006
We drove to Fort Worth to see the Christmas parade, but the people were packed along the streets when we arrived so we hardly got a glance at any floats or attractions. It was well worth the drive because the sun set along the way, and it was magnificent!
Phenomenon 02
Friday, November 17th, 2006
Sunrise this morning was amazing at 6 a.m., then for the next 45 minutes I stood in awe of the beauty as the spectrum of colors changed from cool blues to hot fiery orange. I have never seen anything like it – apparently the cloud-stripe phenomenon is called ‘Mackerel Sky’ and indicates that cold weather is imminent within days.
