A glance at the garden, and Nature spoke to me: We may shrink physically, but the volume of our spirit is our choice to make! 😊 #MetaphoricalSunrise #AhaMoment #ReadingTheSigns #SpiritShine #TeamLight

"Direction Sign" by Annette Croad

I told good buddies, Repetition and Reconfiguration, that I thought my shot of seasonal foliage could be more; and they made it into a handsome hanging planter! For the castle, y'know. 😁 #MetaphoricalSunrise #AhaMoment #UseWhatYouHave #TeamLight

My 26" x 36" mini-mural near the computer reminds me all year of how it feels to be in the midst of nature. It is time-release Rx as I navigate day-to-day life, mostly inside. #MetaphoricalSunrise #AhaMoment #NatureHeals #TeamLight

"September Creek" by Annette Croad

Several years ago, I decided to preserve my very pink and green "Tray of Watered Lilies" for all-time, and made it metallic. 😊 #MetaphoricalSunrise #Epiphany #CastCollection #TeamLight
