A couple of years ago a friend of mine introduced me to a book called Microworlds by Margherita Dessany. It is a wonderful book filled with whimsical images of tiny people photographed in the world at large. The juxtaposition delighted me, and for a long time, I've wanted to play with the idea myself, just for fun. That's what I'm doing here. But, before I do, please check out some of the artists who have inspired me below.

There are probably many more artists, but these are the ones I know about. If you have some favourites, please leave me a comment, and I'll be happy to add them to the list.

The inspiration of this collection of mine will be drawn from the everyday happenings in my own life -- the ordinary things we do as we live and learn. I want to bring some fun to them. A lightness. Some humour. And maybe even a little magic. I hope you enjoy my world!

Paddling


It true that it's been a long cold winter here in Upstate New York, but I still did a double-take when I returned to enjoy my coffee by the light of the window and found this couple paddling as though they didn't have a worry in the world.  I admit I admired their care-free nature, but I was eager to sip that coffee before it got cold, so I asked them to move on to another location.  They didn't seem bothered by my request.  I thought of helping them move to the cat's water bowl, but that might not be warm enough for what they have in mind, so I left them to figure it out for themselves.
