the trip

Ohrid, Macedonia

it is strange how vacation clears you mind, relaxes your body and makes everything sweet and joyful.

back to life and the real world is harsh in comparison.

the weekend

glorious weekend in Seattle! Made for a nice day with the hubs

the art show

yes, i am currently showing at a deli in Seattle. set up Sunday night and spent a good 30 minutes fiddling with some tape and twine, thinking i would string up a level line and then, brilliantly lay 20 images along the same plane.

needless to say it didn't work out that way...

here is the main room of the deli, showing the larger pieces...

Showing now through July!

Seattle-likes and the weekend

 Summer! Summer is the best in Seattle! really we don't have a Spring. in fact this spring was especially horrible, gloomy and wet. But this was our first sunny weekend, and oh was it glorious!

our small fenced in yard has given me plenty of inspiration over the last couple of days. nature's memory and resilience is quite inspiring. and it gives me endless photographic subjects 

Went for a quick overnight in Vancouver, BC Canada! Took the bus from Seattle to Vancouver, which was surprisingly pleasant. except for those damn bus seats.

Saturday morning we went to the fabulous Gainsville Island.

Walked around, meandered through the fresh public market, and stumbled upon this street performer. HIGH-larious! 

I dont know if you can see the detail close enough... but these were all decorated with precision! 

i got Mint, salted truffle, cinnamon and irish cream. mmm mmm good.

curls and swirls

 spring is finally turning up...1 hour here, another 30 minutes 2 days later...then we get a FULL day, and all is good in the world!

I love swirls, circles and everything that curls!

case in point

my tattoos...

weekends

 

Walk with the husband and dog to get coffee and pastries. 

Mmmm mmm Good.

and the sun came out again. 

beautiful Saturday afternoon, and my tulips to finally arrived!
