Sunrise

Yesterday morning it snowed and I was happy to see everything covered in white. Surprisingly, the day was sunny. By afternoon, the snow had melted. That was fortunate as I needed to drive into town.

The snowcapped Cascade Mountains were gorgeous at sunset and the night gave us the shimmering reflections of the moon over the water.

This morning as I was stumbling out of bed, I could hear my husband calling me into the sunroom to watch the sunrise. I went outside to get a better look. Absolutely stunning and the only sounds I could hear were the birds singing. The photo above is from this morning.

Over my coffee and biscuits, I went blog hopping to gain inspiration from fellow artists. I came across Cheryl's blog filled with thought-provoking poetry and imagery.. She also led me to another blog series called The Burning Question. Both series are a perfect fit for this journey that I've started.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
