DANA MURRAY’s Inspiration Point:

Cocktails for two:

After a hard days work, this reminds me of how right it feels to sit down with the one you love and decompress for the evening. To share a drink together, talking about the day and making plans for tomorrow, all the while enjoying eachother's company. If you look closely you will see two tiny, whimsical round drops that appear in the picture. They remind me to just "be" in the moment, instead of "doing" so much...To enjoy the small pleasures, for they are what end up being the best things in life.

Canopy of trees

There is something about being out in the woods, that brings a serenity and peace for me. Being out in nature is grounding...I get clarity and insight, from it. This photo, with its tall, green trees and sun peeking through the leaves, reminds me of that peace, and that special place. The water drop reminds me of an umbrella, or a canopy, and fits in perfectly with the beautiful, majestic trees.

Autumn Beauty

This majestic tree is not far from my home, and I have taken many photos of it. Every season has a different look and feel to the tree, but Autumn remains my favorite. It stands alone in a field of tall grasses, that turn a lovely orange color in the Fall. It's leaves drop gracefully to the ground, and in the winter, a dusting of snow coats it's branches, as fog rolls in beneath it. The water drop collision at the top reminds me of a leaf, as it floats down to the earth. The tree weathers each season, and flourishes, with the changes. For me, it's a reminder that as my life changes, I can be like that tree. Embracing change and finding the beauty in everyday life...
