July

July is one of those melancholy months. Beautiful. Summer waning a bit. My daughter's birthday. She is 30 years old today. I am a wreck. I wish I was in Istanbul.

Tattoo

Well, I was bored today, so I went and got another tattoo. It's a "whimsical Celtic insect/butterfly" according to the pamplet that came with the stamp. I have always liked it and I wanted something goofy.

Thursday

The frogs are singing out at the pond and the wildflowers are starting to bloom. It has been a hot, dry summer and then our monsoon rains finally came. So, the frogs and the flowers appeared late, but at least they appeared!

Paper trail

I'm glad I kept a photo of this piece...the cats decided to attack it one day and the cats won!

July

I am going to try and post some of my art work. We'll see how it goes. I need to get into the habit of posting regularly. School starts in less than a month and I would like to add student work and talk about what we are doing in class.
