Health: Get the Balance Right

I find that taking photographs is really peaceful and it allows me to get lost in the moment, so here are a few I took recently.

Asiatic Lily: Imperfect beauty

I just took this photo from our backyard.  

A fallen flower.

 Imperfect, yet still beautiful.

It symbolizes life sometimes, doesn't it?

Windsor Ontario Photography: Savouring Spring Time 2015

I took a walk through East Gate Estates where I live and caught my favourite purple tree, fully bloomed.

After that, I enjoyed a relaxing walk to Reaume Park. Here are a few of my favourite photos that I took.  If we're Facebook friends, you can see some of the others on there. I hope that i'll be able to go out and about and take more pictures throughout the summer. It's something I really enjoy doing. Hope you like them!

Oh and please don't use my photos without asking permission and giving me credit (ex. photo by Melissa Arditti).  I know in the Internet world that's tough to ask, but it's just common courtesy and a wee little respect that I feel I do deserve. :)

I call these kissing flowers.

It's me. :)

An Urban Space Experience: Akron Art Museum

 Akron Art Museum
All photos by: Melissa Arditti

Running a little behind schedule, our next stop was the Akron Art Museum.

The architectural structure of the building is quite modern, broken into three sections (the Crystal, the Gallery Box and the Roof Cloud) with a combination of glass and steel and was designed by Viennese architectural firm, Coop Himmelb(l)au.

After admiring the outside, we met up with our guide, who reminded me of a really chic/bohemian-styled woman who hailed from the fashion district of New York City, with thick black-rimmed glasses. Her name was Carol Murphy, and she is currently the Chief External Affairs Officer. She was waiting for us by the i-Q Café, named after the museum’s sculpture; Inverted Q by renowned American Pop artist Claes Oldenburg.

The museum has a vast collection of over 5,000 works of art and you can walk through these beautiful loft-like galleries with 16-foot ceilings, and enjoy contemporary pieces, to sculptures, photography and much more. Here are some photos that I took for your viewing pleasure.

A lot of galleries can often feel pretentious, but there is a real free-spirited attitude and appreciation for all kinds of people who walk through the door. The best part about the art museum here in Akron is its adaptability and versatility to change. It is also wonderful to know about all the creative programs that they provide for inquisitive minds of all ages. I wish I was 5 again so I could take part in a Firefly Tea Party or perhaps some Shadow Dancing. :)

Before or after you tour the gallery and pop into the museum store, you can enjoy a delicious snack and beverage without even having to walk out the door. Carol also mentioned that they pride themselves on serving their patrons local and whenever possible, organic products.

So whether you’re a professor, a student of the arts, an art connoisseur, or simply just wandering downtown Akron, stop in and see all the unique galleries that makes Akron Art Museum a destination to further explore.

Even the sun sets in paradise: Bothwell, Ontario

This was a beautiful photo that I took in the car, while we were driving home from Bothwell, Ontario.

I am truly...utterly...in love with sunsets.
