Lakeside Connections reminds us that we all are connected. Our actions are intertwined, even if we are unaware of their impacts. Such as the ripples created by the wind blowing across a lake’s surface, pushing small waves to the shoreline, or the rings emanating from raindrops, circling, then slowly enlarging, spreading, and merging with other raindrops. Every action interacts with another. Being mindful of how we interact can calm us and someone else. This collection reflects the unlimited variations of patterns created by nature’s interactions on the lake where I live.
