Flowers in Cyanotype Blues | Sweden

As fall and winter are coming closer and yesterday was a prime example, I popped into the Swedish Museum of Photography, also known as Fotografiska. These 5 photo manipulations were inspired from this visit and a very special love in my heart for the color blue, from cyan to cobalt to everything in between. All of these images were captured at some point while I was "roaming the earth." And besides, it's easier to be a Swede when your own soul is blue too...

Love, Sharon

In this Moment I am..

:: feeling grateful for the sunny, summertime weather and accompanying monsoons, and fabulous new friends that give me a reason to celebrate life's simple pleasures.

:: loving the way the mountain bike community welcomed me into their world by saying "good job" and "way to go, Sharon" whenever they saw me (passed me every time, damn!) on the trail.

:: appreciating my renewed sense of vitality in the midst of inconsistent people and the chaos that is sometimes around me.

:: discovering a band —new to me— called Rising Appalachia and playing them on Pandora to gently usher and coax the monsoon rains.



:: remembering how I NEED the sight and smell of fresh flowers in my favorite rooms of the house: kitchen, bedroom and the sitting room.

:: telling my myself that a grilled steak and a hot chocolate does not make a well-rounded dinner. (Okay, maybe just this once, as I did do a bike race...)

:: laughing at that.

:: wishing there was a theme editor without having to dig into the php, html, and css code of my websites.

Lastly, wishing you a very beautiful Monday evening! xo, Sharon Marzonie

Thailand Wanderings

Among some of my favorite moments from Thailand are surely those in which a few weeks were "lost" wandering through the the streets, temples and landscape with dear friends. Figuratively not really lost, as these are treasures treasured forever. Xo, Sharon Marzonie
