Ralph Waldo Emerson said "scatter joy," which is what our cherry blossoms do, as they fall and scatter in the tiny world of our butterfly.

Our sleek sloop conjures up a brisk sail on aqua seas.  Or perhaps a foray into the America's cup?  Interesting factoid: the earliest representation of a ship under sail dates from between 5000-5500 BCE, and was found on a painted disc in Kuwait.

Everyone knows that a freshly raked pile of leaves is the ultimate playground. Perfect memories are made with the warm sun shining down and the brisk wind stirring color all around. Autumn Pals features a Jack Russell Terrier and Golden Retriever ready to dive headlong into the mix. Best friends at play on an autumn afternoon. What could be better?

Spend a quiet blissful moment watching the pink cherry blossoms fall and drift onto a footbridge.  Around a small pond, Spring works her magic.  Nature blossoms everywhere in over abundance. Spring lingers in the beauty of cherry blossomed trees.

The snap of a twig underfoot alerts the deer to your presence. You still your heart and watch as steam rises from the doe’s breath. Eyes meet. A quiet moment shared in perfect stillness. The fawn resumes drinking from the stream, relaxed and refreshed. Venture now as they do, back into the day, senses heightened and aware.

Who doesn't stop transfixed, when seeing the exquisite red of a cardinal, against the stark white snow of winter...

The cardinal is often referred to in folklore as connected with the number 12.  It can be seen during twelve months of the year, and it's eggs hatch in twelve days.  Stories say that if a cardinal flies into your life, good luck will follow within twelve days, twelve weeks, twelve months or at twelve noon or midnight ... or maybe the twelve days of Christmas?

Cairns span the full spectrum of design, from the simplistically rustic to the carefully cultivated.  Regardless of their design, their countenance is always impressive: the pile of stones craning toward the sky.  Their dramatic appearance is perfectly representative of their purpose. Historically, cairns were used in an emotional pre-war ceremony in Scotland.  An eyebrow-raising protagonist for a snow globe?  Maybe. Compelling and provocative?  Absolutely.
