#OnThisDate & #FlashbackFriday: On this date last year (4/23/2020), Mom & I were running errands in the Shopper’s World Plaza in Clifton Park,NY and I stopped by to capture a photo of the #518RainbowHunt piece in the window of a barber shop after shopping at the Dollar Tree nearby during the pandemic. A year later today (4/23/2021), Mom and I did run errands in our own community. Picked up my work check, got banking done, and picked up our dog’s medicine at the vet. At least we got our errands done though & saw some window art!! Happy Friday everyone!! Stay healthy & safe!! (Photo taken by Amy L.

Why yes the entire staff did have a 3 hour pandemic meeting going over more than 50 pages of policies and procedures before Acupuncture Nirvana reopens June 3. Thankfully there were still rainbows around us all the same because we were all together again. I’ve secretly suspected Joy is a leprechaun and at the end of the rainbow, is her heart of gold❤️!What do you think? . #518rainbowhunt #518rainbowhunt🌈 #rainbow #rainbowbaby #rainbows #518strong #518love #acunirvana #wearamask #weareinthistogether #wearamask😷 #wearamaskplease #wearamaskny #maskup #mask #maskupchallenge #maskmonday #upstateny #acupuncture #acupunctureclinic #acupuncturerocks #capitalregionny #upstatenewyork (at Acupuncture Nirvana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAwSMnJH4IQ/?igshid=l0a0gtyz8g52

#ThrowbackThursday: Happy Thursday everyone!! Pick up the latest edition of “The Eastwick Press”, now out on newsstands!! You can also read the news online. Last Thursday, this colorful house caught my eye along Roxborough Rd in Grafton,NY during my distribution run and felt the desire to capture it. This local residence was decorated for the #518RainbowHunt @518rainbowhunt , a Facebook group whose mission is to provide “a great fun way to be with family, get outdoors, and be socially distant during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak.” If you created a rainbow, be sure to share it on the group’s Facebook page. Be sure to spread hope, positivity, and remain strong, healthy, and safe during this pandemic. You can read about “518 Rainbow Hunt” on the news weeklies’ front page!! Thank you!! Happy Thursday!

#SundayThrowback: Happy “Sunday Funday”! Yesterday, while sorting through my past drawings, paintings, & mixed media work, I stumbled upon a rainbow painting I made for a Color Theory class I took as a Graphic Design major in Spring 2010 at The College of St. Rose. I decided to share this piece in honor of the #518RainbowHunt : Spreading Rainbows Worldwide!! It’s mission is to provide a fun way to be with family and get outdoors while being socially distant during the 2020 Corona Virus epidemic. I hope this brings some positivity to your life at this time. Chase that rainbow, get outdoors, get creative, and stay healthy and safe. Happy Sunday! (Painting created by Amy L.
