A Glimpse into Nature’s Beauty: The Serenity of Dew Drops and Spiderwebs

~ Stacey Guenther ~ 3 Comments

I made the fractal on June 14, 2022. The haiku was written by me yesterday, March 10, 2023.

Tomorrow morning at 2:00 AM we “spring forward.” That means, for those who use daylight saving time, it’s that time of year when we change our clocks forward one hour. Then, on November 5th of this year, we “fall back” by setting them back one hour. I really don’t know how I feel about daylight saving time. I could live with or without it. But in the end, I like having as much sunlight as possible.

I made this fractal on February 20, 2023.

Here is a haiku I wrote on March 3, 2023:

sitting on the couch
watching the stormy rains fall
tornado warning

I hope everyone is having an excellent March so far. Today, I was thinking about my piano teacher from when I was younger. She was like a best friend to me. She impacted my life considerably, and she was a role model. She loved animals and treated humans with respect and friendliness. I learned a lot from her about how to be a kind human. I will forever be thankful that she was in my life. I miss her.

I don’t have many of my fractals or artwork for sale yet, but some are available on prints, t-shirts, and other items. There are digital downloads available on my DeviantArt, Etsy, and ArtStation sites as well. For a list of all my websites and where my fractals and art can be found, please see this website: https://linktr.ee/StaceyGuenther I have also added a donations widget to the sidebar of this WordPress blog. Thanks for looking and reading!

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

There are many things on my to-do list that never get done. For the sake of brevity, I will mention just one of them in this blog post.

As some of you already know, I make art and do other creative projects. The art I make these days is strictly digital. However, over the past six months, I have bought a lot of art supplies so that I can make some traditional art. I used to make traditional art when I was younger. My problem now is that I can’t seem to get started making it. I keep making things digitally.

I want to use oil and chalk pastels, and make watercolor paintings. I want to draw with alcohol markers, pencils, pens, and fine-liners. I want to use my PrismaColor colored pencils, especially, because I bought the biggest set. I want to use my special art paper to draw and paint on. There is so much I want to do, but I don’t get it done.

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

This may come as a bad surprise for many people, but I don’t cook. I simply don’t enjoy cooking. I do sometimes throw frozen food in the microwave, though, if that can be considered cooking.

When I was growing up, my mom did all the cooking. She cooked everything until the day I left home when I was 19. I moved in with my boyfriend, and he did all the cooking until our divorce in 2010. My next boyfriend did the cooking, again. Then, when I met my second husband in 2015, he did all the cooking. He still does it.

I have tried cooking before and I’ve made some delicious meals. My husband John was very impressed and enjoyed the food I made. However, I am not interested in cooking, and I do not find it to be fun or enjoyable in any way, other than the process of eating the food afterward.

John is 31 years older than I, so if I outlive him, I will have no choice but to cook my own meals. I am not looking forward to that. But, I can’t live off microwave food forever.
