Just a solstice card from those two traveling artists in Port Townsend, Washington.<\/strong> This wishes everyone a wonderful winter solstice – and toss in a Christmas toast too. We both want to thank everyone who helped support our creative lifestyle this year and allowed us to learn about some new and amazing places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us near Seattle, Winter Solstice is Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 9:30 PM, the exact moment the earth’s northward tilting stands still – just for a moment. Then we begin a reverse back towards sunnier times for the Northern Hemisphere. I like to call it our First Moment of Spring<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s celebrate that. Get outside for a bit, walk into your local park, backyard, forest or beside a beach, lake or stream. Take a great breath of air into your lungs and give some thanks that you can still do this – and still appreciate it. Life is short – but I always think it should be wide – as wide as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve had lots of requests for photos of US, not just paintings or photographs – so this one was taken in San Diego three weeks ago by Steven Cherry. The effects of a few glasses of wine at Casa de Pico seem somewhat apparent, don’t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.
