• It Is IMPORTANT That You Do It

  I have a message I’d like to share. For those who are at the end of their rope. / Those who have reached it in the literal sense, tie a knot. Those who have reached in a figurative sense, keep on swingin’. To those who’ve reached in an artistic sense. / I have something to pass along. I can’t take credit for this on my own. These words of wisdom come from a friend named, Sam Cucchiarra. He was a substitute teacher and full time philosopher when I knew him. Sam would often tell me, when we discussed writing, “The feeling that it has all been done is a common one. However, whatever ideas you have are important. Whatever you feel must be done, it is important that you do it! Once you throw the pebble in the pond, there is an action and a reaction. There’s no telling what effect the ripples will have…

  To everyone on Live, Love and Dream, thank you for featuring “Ripple” on your web page. Learning how to be creative with Jasc Paint Photo Shop and other softwares has really opened up a whole new door for me. This was my very first piece in that venue. I am grateful to you and everyone on here who makes it possible for artists to learn, love and appreciate one another’s artworks. It’s been a wonderful experience for me. With Gratitude, / Laurie Puglia

  I have had a busy few weeks, but I have started to set time aside each day for my photography. Little did I know that I was taking about 2000 photos a month, so I am still a little backlogged from June. I took some time today to recharge my batteries, and something drew me to a special spot I have here near a reservoir/dam tonight. I think it was probably that same something that tells me every once in a while to check out the moon, or the shifting stars, or the latest flower blooms in the local parks. The last week has been pretty hot here, with temperatures in the high 80’s…so it is always refreshing to get a wind or two from the North…and a rainshower or two. Anyhow, this afternoon, the breezes seemed to come from the North, and I just felt the weather was perfect for one of my bike treks into nature, so I set off. I ended up on the reservoir about the time the sun was beginning to make its descent into the horizon. I saw a beautiful place along the shore that was full of rocks, yet still had a perfect unobstructed view of the sunset, so I set up shop. I had my camera at the ready, testing the light and framing the shots I had in mind. As I was waiting for the sun to get to the perfect golden glow on the water, I decided I had enough time to fish a little. I have gotten in the habit of carrying my backpack with my fishing gear as well as my camera just about ever time I leave the house. As I was pulling my bait back in, and the water was starting to move, the light sort of lit up certain rocks as it lit up the water….and I was amazed at the patterns I saw of the water as it hit the rocks…it was almost like the water had a rhythm or cadence, and the rocks were there for me to see when the waves hit them. The rocks didn’t change, but the water did….and it was the water that seemed to wrap itself around the rocks every two or three seconds, sending perfect ripples out in concentric circles. I got my camera, of course, and tried to time the rhythm of the ripples so I got ever larger circles, but the weird thing was that the water looked like it was as smooth as glass every other shot, even though I just saw the perfect ripple. Finally, I realized it was me…I wasn’t anticipating the shot, but reacting. I finally got the rhythm, and I got some nice shots off as the water started to turn its amber hues. The whole thing was almost one of those zen-like moments you never expect, but somehow, nature has its way of teaching. I also got my sunset over the water, and again, it was one of those things that never ceases to amaze me. I think the water and sunsets go together, no matter where I am in the world….and they are the one thing I always look forward to each day I am near the water.
