Hello Kitty

I am kind of obsessed with these colors right now. I have a young niece and a very young grand-niece (great-niece?). Maybe that's why I am drawn to them. In fact these parts and pieces were from little Kayla's (6 going on 16) birthday presents. They are young. They are pretty. Dare I say it? They are girlie. It's a funny concept - that colors are girlie - or feminine - or masculine. How did that ever get started? Did Caveman only wear buffalo skin {brown} leaving Cavewoman to rock the {pink} flamingo feathers? Really. So silly. I have a standard answer when anyone asks me what my favorite color is. I tell them I don't have a favorite. I love all color. It's all about how you use them.

Vacation

Vacation is over. Back to work on Monday. A good way to finish off an extended vaca? Brunch with friends. One last visit to the Farmers' Market. A wildflower bouquet. Ahh summer. Smiling yellow sunflowers. Candy-colored zinnias in shades of orchid and carnation. Fuzzy purple - or is it blue? - ageratum. Tanned burgundy dahlias with white bottoms! Snapdragons making like a tequila sunrise. Emerald bedding. All stuffed in a handmade pot the color of faded denim, kiddie pools, summer clouds at dusk.

Driving Towards The Sun

Yesterday I was driving. To the city. Again. At least it was a pretty day. And no traffic. I had brunch and then hung out with the family. Okay so I can't complain. 

It was night by the time I drove home. But this time of year, you know, the sun sets pretty late. I still had the top down and shot these pics holding my i-Phone above the windshield. No I wasn't driving. Okay I was driving very slowly. That's why the shot above is -  how shall I say - crazy blurry.

But then I pulled over. In the parking lot. I swear. See, above? Nice, huh?
