This week’s challenge is to show a photo with someone as a shadow, reflection, or lesser part of the scene, making the background the center of attention. The lovely woman in shadow, with the white flower behind her ear, was tending bar in a little restaurant in the town of Hanalei, Kauai.
A succulent sends a torrent of its flowers spilling carelessly over the top of its blue pot. They reach down, they don’t care, and dance in the wind.
U is for umbrellas. The ones for sun, not rain. They come in such ultra delicious colors and textures
Could there be any better time than being under a beach umbrella?
Frizztext has brought us all the way to the letter tagged U this week
The clarinet player I met on San Francisco’s Embarcadero a couple of years ago; he started playing in 1947 when he was young, and hasn’t stopped. I haven’t seen him the last few times I’ve been in the City. I hope he is well, and continues to play beautiful music where ever he is. I keep running by this photo in my files, and the very thought of hearing that lovely clarinet down by the waterfront makes me stop every time.

Gaylord Frog goes shopping
A Mexican pottery frog that was a Mother’s Day gift from one of the kids. The hat? Gaylord said he needed one.
For quite some time now I have wanted to post a blog about creativity and its connection to being high on life. You know that feeling - well I certainly hope you do - when you wake up feeling like you might burst with potential. Your energy level is over the top, you somehow managed to acquire a handful of new ideas overnight and you will tackle and throttle anyone who stands between you and your desire to manifest this moment in time with a creative achievement.
A memo board in my office; it seems to get larger with each escape I’ve had to fun and adventure. I’ll need another board soon.
Morning sun begins its journey
Flowing over the fence into my backyard
Welcome to my day sun
“keep those rags and machines hummin, work and work my fingers to the bone”
“you might not ever get rich, but let me tell you it’s better than digging’ a ditch….
Talkin’ about the car wash yeah”
