What’s up?

Besides the patio umbrella?  I’ve been on the run for the past week and computerless for the last few days but all is right with my world now…the computer is back, rebooted and working better than ever.  I’ve started a new painting that has me revved up and impatient to get on with it but lots of summer socializing has meant I’m just looking at it in passing right now.  Which is OK, because I’m coming up with new ideas about where I want to take it while I’m just looking.  I’m also planning on painting an interior wall…a smallish one in the front hallway and wrapping just a bit into the living room, so the place is littered with paint chips at the moment.  I’m leaning to a bluey/turquoise, a bit like the background on my blog but slightly lighter. Am I bold enough for this?  Hey, it’s just paint (she tells herself)!

I’m running on I know, but I’ve had three cups of java power today and I don’t normally have more than one...maybe that’s why I’m not sleeping!  I’ve also had a few days of birthday celebrations (mine) which have been lovely (thanks to all for your birthday wishes on Facebook!) and spent several hours today playing with a grandson who: loves to paint, search the rocks for clinging starfish and play endless games of hide and seek.

Thanks for stopping by my lovely friends and now…I’m off to bed and sleep.

A beautiful colour choice - and you can always paint over it if it's not right.

I know how easily coffee can interrupt sleep, still, I love drinking it too!

Happy Birthday Kate, I'm glad you enjoyed your celebrations!

Well, sorry to be a bit late but I'm sending you warm and happy birthday wishes, hope you're still celebrating!
and I love the thought of a pale turquoise wall, each time I see that color it inspires me in a certain way.
All the best to you, Kate.

Solstice Yesterday was the 2nd annual Solstice celebration at a friends boathouse just down the street. You couldn’t get any closer to the water without being in a boat. We ate sumptuously and still the sunlight lingered. At 9:30, the sun finally slipped behind the mountains, and we were joined by a heron fishing for his own dinner. As darkness closed in, we lit candles while setting our intentions for the next six months… and released them to float away in the darkness of night. A beautiful, beautiful solstice gathering once again at the boathouse.

Focal Point This is obviously a theme I’m on these days as I've just realized I wrote a post with the title “Focus” not long ago. Although I photographed these Irises several weeks ago, I didn’t care for the composition, so didn’t post it at the time. I haven’t had my Nikon out in awhile so as I was trolling through my files today for something I might have missed, I checked this one out again. (Maybe it improved with age? Maybe my eye wouldn't be quite so critical?) I did a little cropping to look at it from different aspects…first the...
