A Tropical Motherland

I visit my father, who has Alzheimer's, in Tonga as often as I can.. And how enthralled I get in the colors and culture there and on the way...

Shops of Downtown Shelton

OFF THE WALLS GALLERY

Shelly, the owner of OFF THE WALLS GALLERY in Shelton, WA has got the best darned eye for retail I have ever seen, so when she told me that retail is her passion I was not the least bit surprised. From the layers of color, oodles of whimsical characters and expressions- the light of her personality bends and bounces like light off of every shelf in the place. This is where local residents come for a pick me up, a dose of happy and a walk down memory lane. This place is painted from head-to-toe in creativity, possibility, energy and all shoppers vitamin d you can get in Shelton. An absolute testament that your true self is what the world needs <3

Pickering On The Water- 1st of March, 2016

Just past Shelton there is another small town called pickering where I was so lucky to see so many birds fishing on the water and even a baby seal! Lucky for the moist air and sunset hour, brought some moody coloring :)
