Time out

Friends, I'm going to take some time away from PBase. I feel dry as a bone right now, creatively speaking. Seems to me I've been working steadily on one series after another since last August. And I've loved every minute of it. There is nothing I'd rather do. But. And this is a BIG but, one can't keep producing, producing, producing without taking some time out every so often. Like a field that needs to lie fallow before being planted again, I feel I need to stop creating in order to come up with new ideas. So, may you have a wonderful few weeks and I'll see you when I return.

I for one have been constantly amazed at your 'work ethic,' you have continually provided us with stunning thought-provoking images with similarly stimulating text.
Take care, I will miss you, we all will, and look forward to having you back when your 'batteries' have been recharged by all that is 'good.'

Love the light in this photo Patricia. Enjoy your break and I look forward in seeing your results from the creative renewal process :)

Admiref your personal wisdom. Knowing that creativity runs in cycles like seasons on the farm. And more than knowing, accepting and going with those cycles. Enjoy the times of rest and vacation as much as the times of work and productivity. Look forward to seeing your stories when the season turns again.

Waiting to see you back fresh and rejuvenated.

In my opinion the sabbatical periods may be the most productive.
Come back when you feel to do it ;-)

Who knows what direction you'll be off in when you start up again!!!

Take a good rest: your output in the recent past has been wonderfully creative, demanding and rewarding. Time to smell the daisies now for a little while. We'll look forward to your return. :>)
