I have been a fan of the library all my life.  There’s so much potential for magic and learning.  Where else can you start with the art books, peruse through history, do a little gardening, make a craft or two, and never leave the aisle?

When H and I travel (in this instance, a visit to family in Arizona), I alway keep an eye out for encounters with the local feathered community.  So, when this stern-looking little mockingbird greeted us on the way to our hotel room, I took advantage of its patience (and H‘s too) to snap a few photos.  It seemed more than happy to pose in the morning light.

Perhaps my father interpreted my expression as a smile, but I beg to differ.

When H and I discovered this turquoise-covered skull while window-shopping in Santa Fe, we stopped in our tracks.  It definitely outshines the jewelry.

H and I have been traveling quite a bit lately.  On a recent trip to Santa Fe, while photographing through a shop door, I unexpectedly came face-to-face with a peacock.  It’s not every day that you get the evil eye from such a beautiful bird.

I believe birthday cake trumped a new baby sister.

I am fascinated by the street art in San Francisco… it’s mesmerizing, edgy and surreal, and runs the gamut from thought-provoking to completely comical.  What a feast for the eyes.

I know, I know… it’s tough to know what I was thinking, since my facial expressions were so subtle (unlike Sister S), but I’ll help you out. In the first picture, I was thrilled at the prospect of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood; in the second, you can sense how excited I was about collecting all that candy!

This little skeletal band looks quiet and contemplative now, but once they start playing, I’m sure it’s a grand party!  I’ll bet they can’t wait until tomorrow.
