Mid Winter Recharge

Posted by Bonnie Warner Blackburn on

I am so not a winter person. The year is half done and it's hard to re-set and recharge and not feel overwhelmed by all that I have not yet done that I set out to do.

It is so important to fill your tank. 

I was really lucky to go to Queenstown recently (NZ's South Island) and despite the frigid temps, I found it restorative. The epic landscape was humbling and inspiring, helping perspective flow- and the simple, elegant nature-inspired touches at the place we stayed were calming and soul-satisfying. 

Having majored in photography at Art School I lament my lack of a decent camera- I've become reliant on the ease and basic reliability of the phone camera.. so my pics don't stand out from the rest but you honestly couldn't take a bad picture in this place, and definitely #nf required.

Thanks for the re-set Qtown. Now to ruminate and paint...!
