And Waiting

The orchids, and the cherry, are a little later than usual this year, but it's so worth the wait with these babies.

Waiting

We wait and wait and wait for the cherry to blossom, and usually we lovely spring weather before they start to open.  And then the minute the flowers come out, it's wind and no-nonsense heavy rain and Ben and Meg glued to the window counting the petals that fall.

Ah, it must be spring.

Spring is Here

And things are looking up, including me.

Tiles!

My bucket list is so long even I can't remember everything, but on it is to trace the movement of Byzantine-style tile works, especially from Croatia (wasn't it?) though Italy to Sicily. (Hope I got that right...)

Though not in that style, I found this at the entrance of a building a few doors down from yesterday's building. 

(Well) Being

I know what "acupuncture", "massage", "shiatsu", and "Chinese medicine" mean.  But the rest?

Theme day: Mystery Object - All Black Ukus

In Nelson, it's Wallabies (Australia) vs Russia this afternoon.  I'll be about 500m away installing a textile exhibition. 

Oh, and the #13 abs? Read about it here; the original torn shirt is being sold for charity.

Something for everyone. Shot on Tuesday, on the day of Italy vs USA test.

My Fav Dress Nelson

Dress Nelson has been controversial, but overall I'm for it.  So far this is my favorite, but not necessarily the best.

Every Face Tells a Story

The best face I found so far. Read about it here.  I'm sad it's only temporary, as you can see, there are blisters appearing on this particular "sticker" already.

It's worth visiting Suter for John Gully's work and collaboration by local artist's work inspired by John Gully.
