Clean and White

This year we've had nothing but rain until yesterday when it finally snowed. 

These two photos by me.

 

Our beautiful golden retriever (now 15 years old) so wanted to run and play in the snow but it started to rain again right after I took these photos.

 

This got me thinking about how clean and fresh everything looks when white.  Since I'm feeling refreshed and renewed and in a nice zen like place right now for the first time in years, I decided today to focus on the soothing power of white and soft colours found around the internet this week.  It appears I'm not the only one.

The rest of my day will be spent watching football and getting ready for back to work. Sigh.

 

Time for some inspiration...

Confined indoors today because of a bug, I decided to take this time to update my poorly neglected blog and look for some inspiration for a fresh renewal for my soul.

Summer is Coming - at least that's what they tell me

Summer is coming.  Summer is coming.  Summer is coming.  I just keep telling myself that.

I wish I was more photogenic…

Valentina Zeliaeva – photo from Ralph Lauren

Russian born Valentina is the current spokes model/muse for Ralph Lauren and never seems to take a bad picture.  She has a certain Grace Kelly look about her and she knows how to perform in front of the camera. I’ve rarely seen any scandalous articles or prima donna incidents in the news.  From all accounts she appears to be a hardworking, conscientious model who knows she’s fortunate to do what she does and look the way she does and she’s making the most of it.  A good choice in my opinion for the Ralph Lauren line.

She looks great in almost everything Ralph puts on her.
