Once again in beautiful San Diego

So one of the joys of not eating at home is being able to eat dinner without fighting off kittens, right? Well I was eating a fish burrito on the balcony and these guys were almost as pesky as the kittens. The far, fat one is missing a foot and evidently it helps him get handouts!

Grand and glorious!

Here is where I spent the day

With lovely fall vignettes

Lots of animals

They just don't make them like these anymore

Not every day you get to eat lunch with handsome gentlemen in uniform!

or meet princesses with squeak-squeak shoes

I am always reminded how much we have is not needed.  It just takes a tractor ride and

a grapevine wreath with wildflowers and a day spent spinning fluff 

on the porch. 

Grand and glorious, miss you Miss Jo!

Photo app junkie

I have to admit being addicted to photo apps on my IPad. Since I also downloaded AppsGonefree, I've been collecting more.

Here are a few Linotype images after play.

Halloween broadside type.

My first printed poster!

Basket of fossils under my workbench.

Halloween is coming

To stretch my printing skills, I made up a Halloween broadside. It was an excerpt from Shakespeare's Macbeth witches scene.

 

I couldn't find a font with enough letters to write three lines of the poem. I used five different fonts, six counting the title! This doesn't bode well for future printing. While I was there, I remembered to photograph the Linotype machine.

 

And finally a kitten photo, Natawny lounging on the porch.

Tree Bones

Tree Bones

Bleached, scoured, dead

Still more beautiful than mortal hand creates

Silent sculpture

Curves and highlights

Mysterious hollows beckon
