I am thrilled to introduce a blogger, with whom we must all be familiar, as our feature artist this weekend.

| Portrait of the Artist Kelly Letky |
Kelly Letky is a freelance graphic artist, poet, gardener, photographer, writer, jewelry designer, wife, mother, sister, daughter, crazy cat lady, friend, runner, and knitter, not necessarily in that order. She lives with her husband, three cats and one dog in the rural countryside of Farmington, NY, beneath a big blue bowl of sky, and enjoys not-nearly-often-enough visits from their three grown children. You can find her writing at Mrs Mediocrity & The Blue Muse.
If you have ever enjoyed a visit to one of Kelly's blogs, you may have come across her amazing fine art photography, as I did, and seen for yourself how poetic vision can be transformed into visual imagery. I asked Kelly if she would be prepared to share a few of her images with us in The Imaginary Garden, and she has generously obliged. More of her outstanding photography can be viewed at Etsy: Blue Muse Fine Art.

Kelly is a spectacular poet and photographer!
I am a huge fan of Kelly's poetry and photography. Her work is at the top of my list of online favorites. I'll have to see if I can come up with something for this.
It seems I'm not the only fan of Kelly's poetry and creativity. She's an amazing artist with an incredibly beautiful voice and eye.
Love the colors and texture of "Dance with the Ghosts of Tomorrow."
I miss Kelly's poems. I see a bit of them if her photography.
I follow her work and adore her photos and poetry. Thank you!

I hope it's okay I posted two?! I found another image on Kelly's site that wouldn't stop feeding me lines! :)
Thank you again!
Kelly, you are insanely talented. I've been perusing your artwork for at least an hour now.
Wonderful poetry and images.. Kelly, I will try to write one later today.
@ Hannah I also want to write to more than one of these amazing pictures. And there is always OLM tomorrow if anyone would like to return to Kelly's art.
Thank you all so very much for your incredibly kind comments, I am blushing all over the place here!
Joining in on the fun today with a new poem, and looking forward to checking out your responses!
