Get away!

No I don't mean get away from me or anything like that, I mean at times we need to get away from our daily routine and re freshen up.  That is what I did this past week.  Just my family and I went to enjoy Pinetop, AZ for a bit.  Loved the cooler weather and the pine trees everywhere remind me of my home town, but smaller.  We enjoyed bike riding, horseback riding at Snowy Mountain Stables, and hiking trails.  I completely forgot about my normal life for a while.  That is how it should be.  Forget and refresh.  Here are are a few images of my time there.  I can't wait to do it again.  The worst part of leaving reality is coming back.  lol.

Progress

Progress is important in many ways.  That is how we move forward.  If we are not progressing then we are only going the opposite way.  My progress is slow since I only can work on Dana Arts a few hours a night and not every night.  Either way I do my best to progress and move towards my goals.  This year I really hope to be active and share as much about what I do as I can.  As new designs come out I'll be adding them to my site and non produced rings will be rendered in an obvious way to know it's not a photo.  I also will do my best to keep some videos going.  It's always hard for me to find the time to get them going, but I really must try harder.  I will also post them on my YouTube channel as I make them.  If I'm slacking in any way just let me know.  

Maybe these Cacti will push me.  No sitting down.  :)

Always moving forward even if it's only baby steps.
