Go draw something!

Go draw something! That's how I started my morning. My artistically driven little girl was whining that she didn't have anything to do. So, the above phrase was uttered. Now the adventure begins. Once a thought enters her head about a project, there isn't much stopping it. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE GETS THAT FROM :) Off we go...

Yes, it's cold in the Northeast today... that's not going to stop me though... Aislyn got an EZ tracer from my brother, for Christmas! Yay! Uncle Chollie! She loves it. However, I'm now official photographer to, "she who must be artistic." Hmmm, scratch that! I'm the Artistic Director for Ornery Acres. That's better. Sounds more official.

Anyway, the EZ tracer works by projecting whatever picture, photo, etc., placed beneath it, upon a wall, canvas, etc., and can be set to many sizes. It's a the coolest thing my daughter could have gotten, next to the HUGE art carry all she got from us. Uncle Chollie rates though. Well, because he's uncle Chollie and he's cooler than her parents. That said, I'm off to take some pics of the light snow falling on the frozen "lake" in our yard. Aislyn says, "it's the perfect mix of snow covering and the grass beyond." OK.

I know it sounds like I'm whining that I have to take pictures. That's really not the case. I LOVE photography and now I have a chance to share it with my little girl. Some of you may say, let her take her own pictures. That might happen sooner or later, but I'm not giving my 7 year old my Nikon.... not no way, not no how! I'm content taking pics and sharing with her right now. Last night she said to me, "Mom, I just love it that were doing this together." 'nough said.

Ordinarily I'd say, well, let's finish this and do that and get this other thing done, then we'll go take pictures. If I'm going to color outside the lines today, I'm dropping all of that for a bit and heading outside with my little artistic coordinator before jumping into the day.

Blessings and adventures....
