blue [harmony]

Cookie + water + reading = ultimate trifecta. 

Amazing surroundings.

Longest beach legs. 

Beautiful camera reaction. 

Romantic bicycle tires. 

Sweet Castro harmony.

Fiber longing.  

green [nature]

I can't get enough of nature. And I don't want to. City jungles, spinach forests, foggy coves... any and all of it. Yes, please. 

I miss the sights of the west coast, but I've been running through the woods here. I saw a baby alligator. There's lots of green. But it's harder to see when the land is so flat. 

one: Valencia Street is full of magical furnishings. 

two: Delfina Pizzeria delicious--

Star Route Farms broccoli raab, caciocavallo, mozzarella, olives, and hot peppers

three: deer near Point Reyes lighthouse

four: going through the Poppop (granddad) art archive; more weird commissions for unknown projects. This time, big-eyed pets?

yellow [sunshine]

I said: "You take the picture!" So my friend took this beauty with my disposable camera. (It was an epic evening.)

Earlier evening in the evening I took this picture; Ocean Beach. Pacific life. 

Seeing tUnE-yArDs was like hearing sunshine and magic.

My grandpa drew this way back in the day. Like 50s or 60s...

There are a lot of them in my house right now and they are creepy. Mostly sad. 

I wonder what they were for? Who commissioned the saddest clown project? The sunlight was nice, though. So were the textures.

orange [healing]

 

 

I'm back in Florida. As of December 19th. A lot of people didn't know; a lot of people still don't know; a lot of people don't know why or for how long. But I don't know all these answers. And some of them are big exciting secrets that I'm holding onto and making sure they are strong and secure before I let them out to be free and roam. Sometimes it is awkward, that's okay.

I am, absolutely, healing. Everyday. I've gotten into high-fives. I high five the little things and the larger ones. You've got to find the joy in (orange) healing. Go team!

Sidewalk koi on a stroll in San Francisco/the morning I left.

This kombucha flavor knocked my socks off.

Art and landmarks.

Strange things found on a windy morning--teamwork, sunshine, roundness... symbols?

A weekend jaunt to Orlando accompanied by some fresh orange ice cream at Red Hill Groves.

september starts

Ever since Irene passed through the weather has been amazing. Beautiful. Warmth in the bright sun. Breezy. Sparkling water at every turn...

But a quick recap of the storm:




























(this is the "front yard", basically. we hoped the water from the pond would stop rising--it did. me in the red sweatshirt, younger brother in the red pants, sister-in-law in the shorts; funny enough, my mom was wearing a bright red jacket--photo by mom)

We went driving around and this was over at the harbor in Edgartown. (photo by mom)




At South Beach we braved the ferocious sand. It seriously felt like razor burn all over your body as the wind sent the sand from the beach. The photo on the right was taken by me as I took cover behind the shower stalls. 

We kept taking portraits and all mine were this: hair, lots of hair. All and all we faired well (thank you!) during the storm, and even the debris was smiling.

But now back to today, September First. 

Although I woke up much earlier than I desired today, I felt good. Or at least excited about the refreshing quality of a new month. A month that means moving, a month that means fall...

So I cleaned off my old polish, ran my feet through the thick New England grass, and painted my toes a rich, deep turquoise-green. (it's described as "the veins of green mold running through Roquefort." brand: strangebeautiful)

I'm hoping to start some sort of series features on here. I'm remembering that I'm a big fan of structure and creative organization... 

likes the letter 'b'

That little pic on the right, that was an impromptu show wherein I got

to see bonnie "prince" billy and the cairo gang. Great, but why didn't

anyone pick a bigger venue or put up flyers...?

and I totally forgot Will Oldham is in Zach Galifianakis's rendition of

Kanye's "Can't Tell Me Nothin" (on the left, if you've been living under a rock, watch that now)

I wanted beads, so I made some. Lots of fun. This is going to progress.

Be excited (bead excited).

I was walking with my mom and we started talking about these birds,

Bowerbirds. They are probably one of the top birds out there. They

dance, they make beautiful homes, they recycle.

And I can't stop listening to the band, Bowerbirds. I went for a run

that made a path through the woods, today. I passed creeks and this

was the perfect soundtrack.

I feel like an episode of Sesame Street. And today folks, the letter is B!

[all these images of birds, bands, and boys were found on google image search with no discernable sources. concert & beads are mine.]
