and now for something completely different

The other day I had the idea to shoot fog... up a mountain... at 6:30 in the morning.... so I called Berta... who agreed to come with me. .. I know.... with friends like me... ;)
It turned out to be one of those surreal experiences where we just blended in with the nature that surrounded us. Wild horses came to give us kisses, herds of sheep walked between us, and the sun dance on the mountains in a beautiful light show. Coffee and home by 10... surreal...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For all your lovely comments! I haven´t been around because I´ve been studying for my Spanish driver´s license. I´ve been putting it off for about ten years now and Jorge has finally given me a deadline. It´s really hard (she writes whining...) I´m up to the part about trucks carrying livestock... Only in Spain...

it´s all in the details

I´ve been in Madrid hanging out with my baby girl. I didn´t take many pictures because I was too busy being dragged from shop to shop.  I did fit in a retrospective on Eugene Delacroix. I have a thing for handsome painters who have been dead for over a 100 years... and who were probably gay.... ;)

Hope you are having a great week! Big hugs!

la rioja

I made Jorge pull over to take pictures of the grape harvest in La Rioja. I´m not usually so in your face when taking pictures. And I was actually thinking, while shooting these, to get in and out really fast because I´m sure someone will not like what I´m doing. Turns out, they didn´t mind at all. We were even invited back to the family´s bodega to see how they unloaded the grapes AND we were sent home with 3 bottles of free wine. So here´s to getting out of your comfort zone... and free wine! :)

I´m still waiting on my film shots from Philadelphia. I know, just when you thought it was safe... there are even MORE pictures.... I´m worse than the neighbor that makes you sit through 2 hours of vacation slides... ;)

Have a great week!

Beach, boardwalk, casinos, delicatessens, and fried oreos. That about sums it up. ;)
Have a great weekend!

I knew a girl who was blue. So she painted her world pink. xoxo
