There is purpose in a season of waiting…

We were having another cold spell where temperatures dropped into the chilly 30 plus degrees last night and it made me sort of lazy to jump into Second Life even though it was my 6th Rez Day. Instead I snuggled under covers and read.  This meant I didn’t take any photos to blog and then when I attempted to log in today I found that they were doing maintenance so login was disabled for some.

In short, I finally made it in-world to put this scene together, process the photos and mark down credits, which I am leaving you to peruse as it’s close to dinner time.

Where the wind blows

Snapshot_016

While I live so close to the ocean I rarely make the time to go out and enjoy the water.  Yesterday I was having lunch with these two lovely ladies who have a common interest in painting and we made plans to do some plein-air painting in the near future.  Plein air, is a French word, that translates  as “open air”, and defined as painting or drawing outside in the open air.   It’s been a while since I last picked up a brush and I’ve always painted within the confines of a studio so this will be a first experience.  Though I’m aiming for something different, so I’ll just see where the wind blows with this painting adventure.  That is what prompted me to go searching for a nice beach in-world and was not disappointed when I found this absolutely delightful location called Crossing Currents.

Besides the lovely landscaping, the ocean and the sounds of the waves the other nice little perk is that it allows you to rez and I don’t know about you, but that is always a big plus.  Now if I can only get my pose animations all worked out to use without too much hassle then it would be a piece of cake.  Now that just makes me want something sweet to eat.
