Robbie’s Inspiration – Join Colleen and I on a journey INTO THE LIGHT, poetry journal invitation Plus TT plus W3 #poetry #IntoTheLight
I love light. I love the way it sparkles, shimmers, shines, and dances. Light brightens our day and lifts our spirits. We see the effects of light everywhere, in nature, in buildings, and even in baking.
Fall is coming (for many of you). Join Colleen and I on a journey INTO THE LIGHT by participating in our poetic journal with the theme INTO THE LIGHT.
I am always trying to capture light. These are some of my paintings inspired by light.

Winter Dreaming
Picture caption: Jacaranda tree in its green and mustard winter attireWe dream away the colder winter days
Snuggly wrapped in warm velvet capes
Over our slender branches it drapes
Green and mustard in sun’s mellow rays
Snuggly wrapped in warm velvet capes
We dream away the colder winter days
Are you inspired?
