The cherry flowers plate is beautiful and I had to smile when I saw the kitten.

I have never figured out if my passion is for photography or nature.

My love of the our natural world definitely fuels the photography but the reverse is also true.

Hmm, I hope that makes some sort of sense.

Squirrel, I had the same reaction when I saw the little kitten. She is adorable. It absolutely makes sense to me that your passion for both is a natural fusion. I can so relate. Thanks for stopping by.

Such a pretty plate. This reminds me of a pending ceramic project that I wanted to paint.

My passion is my art and my place called Heaven. Home and roots inspire me.

Passion: I have a lot of passions, gardening, propagation, blogging, real estate, finance...yes, I want to be everything I can be.
What drives: money is a great motivator, tire of not having what I like drive me to work for it myself. Accountability, the stupidity of wanting to take care of something/ someone or owning a situation.

Right now my passion is my marriage and to get it growing.

2. The need to have a successful and healthy marriage/relationship to model for my children is what drives this passion right now.

Aloha!

1) I have no specific passion. They all come in a spur of the moment.

2) Things that I see, such as a pretty hat, I will inspire to make one..

Writing is probably one of my passion things to do. So many things can inspire me, but finding the time is hard..

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
