Within - Austin, Texas - 29 May 2008

We recently watched an amazing film entitled New Year Baby, an episode of Independent Lens. It is an incredible story, you will laugh, cry and be horrified by what you learn; it is a very powerful film.

Enjoy the moments and the journey.

We can add Prickly Pear Cactus blooms (they are actually forming fruit now) and Sunflowers to the list of blooming beauties around here. Enjoy the journey!

Fields of them - Austin, Texas - 14 May 2008

Everywhere you look at the moment something is in bloom. So many different wildflowers, Magnolia blossoms, Crepe Myrtles, Oleanders, just to name a few. Hope the Victoria Day long weekend at home was an enjoyable respite for all (although a bit cold and wet from what I hear). Enjoy the journey!!!

An interesting quote...

Life happens to be both a severe and an endlessly kind teacher. It’s the only authority that you need to trust. And this teacher, this authority, is everywhere. You don’t have to go to some special place to find this incomparable teacher; you don’t have to have some especially quiet or ideal situation: in fact, the messier it is, the better. The average office is a great place. The average home is perfect. . . . That is where the authority, the teacher is.

Lovely Magnolia - Austin, Texas - May 2007

Wait till you see the following image of an original pen, ink, watercolour & collage on paper, entitled Hiding in the Tallest Grass. It was a birthday gift and the recipient loved it, yeah! The artist is a wonderfully talented Australian by the name of Catherine Campbell, you can see more of her artwork here.

Happy Tuesday to each of you!!

A favourite - Bratislava, Slovakia - February 2007

I rediscovered this shot recently and wanted to share it with each of you again. The sculptural artistry just seems to tug at the heart strings for me. Just another amazing thing to love about art...

Happy weekend to each of you!
