A New Direction...Turn The Page...

Fri Jan 6, 2012, 6:39 PM
A New Direction…Turn The Page…

A New Year is upon us and has already begun.  2011 sure had it's ups and downs, and plenty of Tests of Faith!   I'm going to try and take 2012 in a New Direction, but, first, I've got a very busy month and a half ahead of me, and will be absent from dA quite a bit of that time.  My apologies for any unanswered comments, :+fav:'s , or thank you's.  I do appreciate them all, but,  I just may not have time to get back to you all individually over the next few weeks.  But, after I get this latest "mess" cleaned up, I plan on turning the page and making a fresh start of it all!  I'm hoping for great things in 2012, but, for now, I'll start with sharing some great art from a few of my friends.  One, that I've just recently met, his art has inspired me so!  You really should take a look at his gallery!  You won't be disappointed.  :iconcapturing-the-light:  And, then, another great friend from awhile back, reunited. :iconldrphotography:  I'm so glad to have met up with my old friend, once again!  You really should stop by her gallery, too, and pay her a visit.   She's got some great images, as well, and some really cute dogs, Oscar & Olive!  I just love 'em!  :heart:  I'm also gonna throw some random artists your way.  Just a few things that caught my eye while browsing.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!  Take Care and See you soon!  :wave:  :iconoak-elfglitter:

Artist | Photography
United States
Hi! My name is Melissa, but, everyone calls me Mim...or Mimi. I love my Min-Pin (Susie), Photography, Music, Running, Cycling, Reading and a ton of other things, but, not necessarily in that order. (Except for Susie, of course!) :love:
I also love double entendres. A lot, if not most of my picture titles have double meanings. Some people that view them may pick up on what I'm really trying to say immediately, while others--never quite get it. But, that's ok. That's how art is supposed to be. Derive from it your own meanings and interpretations. But, most of all...just enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by my page and if you'd like, take a look through my gallery. I appreciate any and all comments and critiques of my work. :-)
*NOTE* Just an update...Susie, my Min-Pin that I spoke of in the first paragraph, died in my arms at 1:50am, Friday morning, 01/29/10 in the ICU at a Vet. Specialty Hospital. I didn't want to change the order of "The things I love" because, she's still the number one and always will be! My heart is broken, but, I know she can see again, and no longer has to take insulin shots twice a day or have her treats spiked with medicine. R.I.P. My Little One!

Tea's Shelter Project

Tea's Shelter Project

My good friend Tea, from :iconteaphotography:, TeaPhotography, is running a shelter project - helping the animals from a shelter near her home.

Have a look at these wonderful animals who need our help and protection so much, and also, take some time to see how much of herself Tea devotes to these little ones.

Hello, there! Thank you so much for all of the kind things you said about the photographs on my page, my mom was really pleased to hear her work was so enjoyed. I'm going to start uploading some of the works that I took from my photography class as well, with much training from her! And also, thanks a million for the watch, I love your works and have decided to watch you as well. Thank you!!

Hi! :wave:
Can't wait to see what you all upload next! :eager: You're both very good, and I'll be sure to make your gallery a frequent stop on my travels through "dA Land" when I visit. ;-) I loved your Florida shots. Are you a FL resident? (not a stalker, :giggle:) My Mom used to live in FL, about an hour north of Tampa,(the town's name will NOT come to my mind right now, but, Weekeewachee is close, if you know where that is) and I'd go down to visit in the Spring every year to get some of that southern sun on my skin and get my toes in the sand and it felt sooooooo good! :iconyeeplz: I love Florida! :love: She moved back to Indiana about 8 years ago, tough, when her husband died, so, she's my next door neighbor, now, and that's pretty cool, too! :love:
Thanks a bunch for the :llama:, the ~watch, all the kind words and everything else that I've missed mentioning! I'm very honored by them all, really! Glad to meet you and make some new friends here on dA. :handshake: :hug:

It really means a lot that you appreciate the photos we take, (:. No, I don't live in Florida, but my dad has a condo there that we go and stay in usually for one week out of the year. I wish I lived there...we really love the warm, after all. But no, only the Fantasy photo was taken there; the rest of them, like the fisherman picture on the lake, were all taken here in Wisconsin. Don't worry about the watch and all, I really love your work as well, I do plan on checking your photography as you upload more. Thank you!

You're welcome! And, I finally thought of the city my mom lived in when she lived in Florida. Spring Hill. And, also, Brooksville just before she moved to Spring Hill. I think she said it was about 20 minutes north of St. Pete. Or, maybe she said 40 min. I wasn't paying real close attention...:ashamed: :giggle: Anyway...:shrug:

Your newest deviation reminded me of something: The other day I saw SEVEN male blue jays at our bird feeder (and a chickadee! :D)! I don't know how often that happens, but I thought it was awesome. I sat and watched them flit around the tree and feeder.
Felt the need to share it with somebody and I figured you would enjoy it. :)

Wow! That is pretty amazing, I think, because, as far as I know, most birds don't come any where near feeders when Blue Jays are around, especially something as small as a chikadee! Blue Jays are mean birds to other birds! Around here, anyway. I may be wrong, but, here, they just seem like "big bully" birds! They always seem to chase the other birds away from the feeder, and are loud, noisy and obnoxious. Pretty to look at, though! :nod: ;-)
Thanks for your comments, and interesting story! :hug: :-)
