April showers Bring May Flowers

Star Bunny Studio 2017 Flower Power
 
Sunny spring days have been far and few between so far this year.
When the sun was scheduled to shine we jumped into the car and drove out to the tulip fields.
Something about being in rows of bright colors makes you feel like a kid again. 
I could not help but have some fun and let my inner-child out to play.

Spring Is In The Air


Star Bunny Studio 2014


This is the best time of year. The natural world is awaking from the long winter slumber.
          A  hike in the Willamette National Forest is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
I was excited to see wildflowers like bleeding-hearts, trillium and cylopso orchids popping up. 
Spring Is In The Air!

Paradise Found

 

If you are brave enough to travel off the beaten path, you find all kinds of hidden gems.
Recently, I had the opportunity to spend sometime on a tiny little island off the coast of Belize. 
From friendly giant sting rays to pirate bones this island getaway had it all. 




 











 










 









I hope these photos inspire you to get off the beaten path
and go out to find yourself a little slice of paradise.

Signs of The Times

http://thoughtmatter.com/

An inspiring number of people hit the streets around the world 
with handmade signs raising voices to those who have commanded rules of
 oppression onto others. This was a showing that reminded us all there is power in numbers.


 

When people unite together it is a force. 
This is a force that must be used for the greater good. Love Trumps Hate.
Unity, Equality, Togetherness these are the policies that restore balance.


 
 We have a choice. 
We can come together and create change, or we continue to allow outside influences
 dictate what is best. Waiting for others to make decisions that directly effect your life is 
not freedom. If we do not utilize our rights, they will be taken away.

While some things have changed over time, many things remain the same.
Positive change towards progress in our world is something we should all work for.
