My favorite ocean view from the balcony of a cruise ship room was one looking straight down on the water. The colors and the movement were breathtaking. I love the color turquoise. This image has all the shades of this color and I cannot get enough of it. The movement of the water is something I have a hard time expressing. It is a feeling of power, gentle pounding, and rhythm. Perfect for the soothing of the soul and calming of the spirit. The ocean is a healing element of nature. When I experience the sound, the feel and the smell of the salt waterRead More →

Self-publishers, those that write books, non-fiction and fictional, need the support of a few people to make the end product a great work. Writers are the creators. The support people are the ones that can take that creation and make it readable, beautiful and correct grammatically. Here I am going to talk about the four main support people every writer should use before publishing the work into printed or electronic form. A writer has what is commonly called a manuscript. It is the body and heart of the work that will become the printed book. This manuscript should be reviewed by someone who is notRead More →

  I read once that people whose faces are symmetrical, even on each side of the nose, are more attractive. I suppose that is true and I suppose that we see that unconsciously. When I see a drawing, I immediately know if I will like it on a shirt. My business partner has this trait in spades. Often I see something I like and when I show it to her, she jumps or says, “meh”. The picture at the left was the original I located on Pixabay. My business partner loved it and so I began the process of making it ready for a t-shirtRead More →

While I was in London, England, walking the local area, I happened on a scene of children in a Fountain. I took several photographs of them playing and I was pleased with the results of a couple of them. © Photographer: Circe Denyer | Agency: Dreamstime.com I am a contributor to Dreamstime Stock Photography and they accepted these two pictures for my portfolio. In the area I was walking with two friends, we saw street dancers, musicians, and many, many children. We were near The Eye, the monstrously huge Ferris wheel with enclosed buckets for the riders. It was a fun day near the ThemesRead More →

I have discovered that I have fun creating and designing t-shirts that talk. What do I mean by that? T-shirts that talk are those that say things I believe, I think are funny, speak the things everyone knows, but maybe forgot and do not focus on any negative ideas. “Joy is in the Journey” “Just Get Happy and See What Happens” “Be Free”  “Creativity is Intelligence …”  “Live Like Someone Left The Gate Open” You can see the newest additions to the collection at our Neatees Store. Love this stuff! Enjoyable to think up, find and replicate and design with artwork from cooperative components. I use freeRead More →

A Dolfin was born in the Chicago Shedd Aquarium. It is normal and natural for dolphins to birth their young. We, as humans find this amazing. Enjoy this experience as those who were in the Aquarium did.

Cat Cataract

I have one non-cataract eye. I recently had surgery on my right eye to remove and replace the lens that had developed a thick cataract. The cataract was thick that the tests to measure my eye for the proper new lens had to be done with a sonogram. Even with that technology, the technician said it was hard to get the measurements. Two Types of Cataracts I had two different types of cataracts in the eye. I didn’t know there were types and I was not aware that they could double up. In the end, it didn’t change the diagnosis and subsequent treatment. I got theRead More →
