Cody and I finally escaped for a day and a half at the coast. I had wanted to go “glamping” in Coos Bay but the place I had in mind had a two night minimum so I turned to old reliable Bandon Inn which has pet friendly rooms and even greeted Cody with a toy and a treat. He is a bit exhausted from his first road trip so I decided to forego the beach until tomorrow and we just took a camera walk around Old Towne. I was surprised to find giant Calla Lilies all over town. But I especially like the texture of the leaf that had landed on this one. I may have to go back a work it a little more to bring out a little more texture in the lily. But for now I think I will follow Cody’s example and have a little lie down.
Today’s quote is from Dr. Clarissa Estes:
It is the love of something, having so much love for something–whether a person, a work, an image, an idea, the land, or humanity–that all that can be done with the overflow is to create. It is not a matter of wanting to, not a singular act of will; one simply must.
