FRONT PORCH, UPLAND, CALIFORNIA


I love to be out walking and come across a house like this.  What an unusual looking house and whoever lives there has a very creative soulful heart.  

"Creativity takes courage."  Henri Matisse



“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”  Osho



“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun”  Pablo Picasso







 
“The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.” 




I need a trip down the hill today to drop my camera off to get fixed (thankfully I have another one - not my favorite but it will do to capture any fall colors as we head down the mountain)...and be still my heart - since the camera place is near a bird farm I will be visiting this place and hopefully getting some beautiful bird photos.

There is a very similar house in Shell Beach and they decorated with beautiful flower gardens. I love this one you photographed!

I'm wondering if I've seen it before - I've taken so many photographs in that area

Oh...me too - I just saw over at another blogger's page where she painted her dining room this beautiful beautiful yellow ...and I'm becoming very fond of yellow (although not the drab yellow that is on the siding of this house I'm in ...

Hi Tammy - ...thanks - i'm quite a "quote" lover and don't do them often enough on my page.

I can tell that this house was not decorated in a weekend. It was all gathered and created over time. I love that about it! I think the owners probably do bring poetry and dance to it and to their lives.
