February begins at last
I find myself exploring the outskirts of town
Never knowing what I am looking for
Only knowing it when I see it
The windows that hide behind branches
Small objects
Still I wonder
I hold on to images
and make landscapes across pages
I watch the mountains and the changing skies
seeing the broken
the crushed
and somehow I put it all together
in a way of my own...
I love how you described finding yourself in a place where you know not what your looking for but you know when you'll find it... and then to see the work that came from that... .quite wonderful!
Glad I chanced a visit by here this morning at your lovely Blog!

Putting it all together in your own way indeed! Roxanne you have such style. I enjoyed seeing where you were going with the theme of your post. How wonderful to be able to follow your thoughts in colour. Thank you!

Well, yes you do . . . put it all together I mean. You are so at home with where you are, Roxanne. Wherever it is.

Nice image journey. For some reason tonight, I am captivated by the internal clock workings... hmmm, something to explore!

So beautiful Roxanne...I love walking the worn out urban areas too. You have created such inspiration from these images.

Another beautiful and brilliant post. I am in love with your new landscapes. These pieces capture the layers and textures that are always a part of the mountains. Your edge of town seems to be filled with treasures to find too. And you really have created something special in the last two shots!!
