I lived in Chicago, IL for 17 years and every time it snowed I would moan and groan.
We finally got some snow flitters, it even made me smile this time!
This picture goes to my family in Venezuela, so they can see.
This is my home now, in Nashville, TN and spring has already started…
…more to show in the next post.
Soul, sombra, mi SOL
Share a song!
Say so long to Solace.
Show your soul to the sun.
Silence to the shadows.
Some sounds are so soft
and some so very strong.
Salute to those that sing
for they are the heroes!
This is the painting in the Chic-Art Exhibit in Chicago,IL – USA
Opening this week-end – Saturday, March 8 from 6-10 pm.

Daylight lengthens,
Sunshine stretches and spreads,
Buds raise their faces towards radiant rays.
Dormant seeds begin to open and emerge forth.
Newborns appear, arise, bud, come out, dawn and emerge.
For now the days have widen and swelled letting spring happen again…

A leap through the air, in a full out split, flying across the landscape… a Grand Jeté!
