Perception

My twin sister has been my inspiration to start something with my creative self. She loves making cards as a way to escape and often reminded me to find my creative passion too. I had been trying to figure out what that was. Photography kept popping in my mind and I felt more and more drawn to it. I started looking at cameras and gratefully, at the most perfect moment, I was gifted a gift certificate and was able to buy a Canon PowerShot SX10IS. It's perfect for me, not too fancy and easy to use.

Photography has now been my therapy, especially during our current times. With so much focus on greed, negativity, work, bills and politics, I'm able to use my camera to focus on the beauty in everything around me. Just as someone once told me, "even if you don't like someone or something, find the one beauty in that person or thing and you will always be happy."

Here are some pictures I took about a week ago. We had friends who visited from out of town. The weather in the bay area had been rainy and gloomy, and the day we decided to go wine tasting, the weather made a complete turnaround. Here are pictures from our day of wine tasting in Napa Valley. Enjoy :)

Adastra Vineyards has been by far the best wine tasting experience I've ever had. We took a tour of the beautiful property then had wine tasting in the owner's kitchen table. It was wonderful!

Stoney Hill Winery was on a beautiful property. I could sit out in the porch all day from sunrise to sunset.

See every moment as another opportunity to be grateful. See everything as a gift. ~Gorgeous for God, Lisa Natoli.

Thank you Creative Spirit for flowing through me.
