Heron Dreams


I figured I had better post something, anything so you all know I'm still here!
Summer has been busy. Family visiting, job hunting, etc.

This is an old collage I did for notecards. My mother was from New Brunswick and the locals were referred to as herons. I think of her every time I see this collage.
This is for Robin, too, who recently posted about the one she encountered.

Tomorrow I see KJ, Mim and Suki !!
More later...miss you all!♥

Splendid composition! I saw a lot of herons on my vacation last week with my family. They always remind me to have grace in my life. I like the tidbit about the folks of Brunswick, I'm left wondering why?

Happy to see you posting :)

hahaha I thoughtt when I don't see anything from you I have to start worrying...........so wow the cosmos heard my call.
Beautiful collage! Meaningful to you and Robin who has a white heron in her mandala. Herons are beautiful.
Hope all your efforts will be successful in the end dear.

Love from Paramaribo!

Beautiful lo! I love herons too and we are lucky to see them here all the time. I get nervous though when I see one on the 'wrong' side of the freeway!

Mim said...

only TWO cupcakes made it home.....gee, I wonder what happened to the other one

I've been watching the herons every day as I walk. I love those birds.

This is wonderful; full of atmosphere and wonderfully serene (doesn't sound like your summer's been that though!).

This is really lovely, Laurel! Unusually 'painterly' for a collage. Could that be because you have a painter's hand and eyes...? :-)
