Things Money Can’t Buy? Friends!

For CFFC: There Are Some Things Money Can’t Buy

24 Hours.

Busy 24 hours. I didn’t capture it all, but these are a few glimpses of times in between doing things. The arm was a truly freakish accident and yes I was literally “skinned.” The view with
the lovely young woman in silhouette was at the International Institute between Chapala and Ajijic. I was actually trying to get a show of the hillside outside the open door, but people kept walking in front of it. So, I started clicking them and especially liked this woman’s body language. The lower garden shot shows the progress of Quetzacoatl so far and also the other end of the garden. The dog is Coco in her first shot of the day, snuggled down on the pillows near my right ear, and the anonymous head shot even I don’t understand. Cannot remember how I took the photo or exactly where but those look like the colors in my bathroom, although there is no dome in the ceiling.  Magic. If you feel the wound shot is uncalled for please let me know and I’ll remove it. It isn’t so much a call for sympathy as just amazement that I could be skinned by an everyday object like that. Okay, Yuck. I grossed you out again….(If you are wondering about the weird color of my skin, I had put makeup on my arm to cover up the bruises earlier in the day.)

Finally, a Day in the Studio! Last on the Card, April 30, 2023

This is the last group of photos I took after Yolanda and I worked on the studio all day long to get art supplies inherited from my dear friend Gloria incorporated into my already-full studio.  It felt wonderful to be able to even get in the door again and the doggies ended up spending the night with me there, too. When I finally noticed what time it was it was 5 a.m.!!!!

I hate it that I made a huge mistake while editing photos. I saw a small version of several that looked like they were mistakes and omitted them.. only find out while i was editing the others that something was missing. When I tried to pull a brush out of the tall glass I had all of the brushed in the first photo in, it wouldn’t budge… nor would any of them! It turns out that the glass I put them into was full of glue.. don’t know how this happened… but all of them were imbedded firmly into it!  I finally got them pulled out en masse but had to cut off the ends of all of the handles to free them.  I took photos of them stuck in the glue and also as I was cutting them of with heavy-duty gardening shears.  So disappointed in my flub.
