I tend to be an organizer … a doer, planner and task master … with few outlets for creativity.  Photographing what I see around me and blogging about the stories of my life and the lives of those that I love, may just be my only creative outlets.

Yesterday, as I was rushing to take lunch and visit with a dear friend and from there, head to a birthday celebration at a local winery, I felt such a strong urge to stop and photograph the scenes around me.  What I photographed wasn’t so amazing as much as it was the time I took to do it.  It gave me a few moments to breathe, to compose, and to embrace bit of creative energy.

And it felt good (as did the wine I drank afterwards)!!  I enjoy red more than white, but this  vignette at the table nearby caught my eye.

Another post will follow shortly but the four other pictures begged for a different  venue.
