Last Sunday was the Art Show Debut of Paths of Joy Nature Photography, so I wanted to take a moment to thank my family, friends, and neighbors for making the day a joyful success.  ☺️ From Casey, who helped in the background for months and then handled sales at the show, to Anita, who made the elegant and tasty charcutier cups and also assisted at the show, to Jaci, who came over multiple times to aid with many of the tasks necessary to ready for the debut, to Nanette, my painting artist friend who both inspired me and encouraged me to step out in faith on this journey, to the “guys” who were family and friends, who helped with so many of the logistical things. 🍁   Finally, and certainly every bit as important, are all of you who attended the show, bought Inspirational Art, and provided encouragement in the form of affirming words and gifts.  Even the day before, support was provided in an anonymous Amazon gift of plaques with positive words and the day after, the lovely chrysanthemum that I found on my porch helped celebrate the launch! I hope that each of you enjoyed the beautiful weather in the yard, surrounded by color from both photo art as well as garden flowers. For those of you who took home inspirational art, whether card or larger photo, may you be blessed by Scripture and quotes or just the simple beauty of nature in the photos.  🌻. And congratulations to Christy, whose name was drawn in the raffle for a framed Inspirational art piece. 🍂   Looking forward to the future of Paths of Joy Nature Photography and hoping that each of you take time this autumn to walk your own paths of joy through bright fall leaves framed with brilliant blue sky! 🌾
