The days are warm & sunny, & the nights are blissfully cool. The light is crisp & clear, & the shadows are strong. Visitors have left for the winter leaving wide expanses of sand free for locals to roam. Local harvests are plentiful, & artists open their studios for visitors.

Maybe listening to friend's relationship snafu's had me feeling glad to be free & single (not that I always feel that way ~ if Prince Charming's listening I'm wiggling my toes here.....), or maybe it's the sunny weather & my garden bursting into bloom, or all the gorgeous spring colors I've been scrolling through over on Tumblr, but I found myself embracing ShimmeringShackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14709336767492956997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241701834685014615.post-66337218802222137252011-12-24T22:10:00.000-08:002011-12-24T22:10:58.856-08:00Season's Greetings!Best wishes for a warm & wonderful holiday season.....

He’s the guy who told me I could be anything that I wanted to be, got me my first camera, showed me how to use it, & let me play in his darkroom when I was little.
Besides the darkroom, he had a real old-time printing press, (making me the only kid in school with personalized pink pads of paper!), beautifully restored a classic MG TF (with a rumble seat!), hand drafted his letters ShimmeringShackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14709336767492956997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241701834685014615.post-47099548973183168292011-06-06T08:42:00.000-07:002011-06-06T08:42:01.115-07:00Tree Down
I had a great big tree outside my apartment.
It was huge, & old & wise,
& provided a home for many birds. It was beautiful. I enjoyed listening to it's leaves rustling in the wind, & I'd wake to singing birds in the mornings.
It was deciduous, providing sunlight in the winter, & much needed shade in the summertime.

Big flower.
Huge fragrance.
It's spring!
Several years ago I worked in a nursery with a super enthusiastic eighteen year old who possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of esoteric botanical information. He used to bounce up & present me with his "useless fact for the day".
We shared a passion for fragrant plants, happily wandering around tending ShimmeringShackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14709336767492956997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241701834685014615.post-91064920503288741312011-04-27T09:19:00.000-07:002011-04-27T09:47:24.226-07:00Fresh goods: Pacific Eco Rings!When we were kids on the way home from school we would find bits of telephone wire left behind by electricians working on the phone lines.
It was like finding treasure.
The scraps were brightly colored, & we would twist the wires & make things out of them, though I can't recall what we made.

Art in the new millennium.
I find myself in a strange place & time these days. It’s like the beginning of rock & roll for the visual arts. I went to school, learned the basics of my craft, & then history was rewritten.
Now we’ve got so many tools available that it’s tough to decide where to start.

The new year
brought torrential downpours to California
which carried lots of wood to the beach
which inspired impromptu architecture
& sculpture.
Now it's sunny & warm
& the beach
seems more inviting
than ever.
