Inspiration: Weekly Photo Challenge

This is the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in northern New Mexico. I was there early on a Sunday morning (about 5:30 a.m.) to wait for sunrise. On the high desert it is cool in the mornings, in the low 50s. I could hear the rush of the river below as I stood alone on the edge of the gorge. It was just me, the river, and the beautiful clouds at dawn.

Florescence Illusions

Mid-July and all we are thinking about is how to stay cool. Here’s a floral distraction. This vehicle was advertising the Florescence Illusions garden show. It was hosted by the River Oaks Garden club, the Garden Club of Houston, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

Love the hat!

Not Your Day To Keep Track Of Me

I know it isn’t your day to keep track of me — it never is — but I’ll tell you anyway: I’m going on a field assignment. (Code for “I’ll be away from my blog taking a class.” (I love taking classes.)) This means I won’t be keeping up with some of my posts that are based on prompts for a while (e.g., photo challenges, Friday Fictioneers). I have, however, scheduled posts for each day.

The bad news: my sketching career is on hold, due to some very painful tendonitis (also spelled “tendinitis.” Don’t know why.) No more knitting, either. On the bright side, (the very blue, bright side), I “get” to wear kinesio tape. When anyone asks about it, I tell them that when you get older and start falling apart, the physical therapist uses fancy blue duct tape to hold you together. Works for me.
