bonsai
Bonsai trees at the National Arboretum in DC; the second one is a mangrove tree from South America. Kelley, her mother, cousins and I went on Sunday afternoon to visit the koi and feed them, but the pellet machine was empty. We saw the azaleas in bloom– lighting up the forested hillsides like pink and… Continue reading bonsai
sunday’s wander
Angles in Tribeca, from a wander in the city on the glorious Sunday afternoon just past.
the deluge and a lack of ambition
That is to say, it's raining today and I'm still struggling a bit. It's getting better– but how difficult, how unsatisfactory to arrive at the end of a week with so little accomplished (as compared to what one had planned to accomplish). And not for a lack of time in this case, but a (seemingly… Continue reading the deluge and a lack of ambition

Wolf on the wall Impatient for lunch! (Prince, Dad) Saturday wander, back in Bklyn– Vinegar Hill segment (Kim, brother Jon, Anders, Ben)

Yesterday Ben and i had a small wander in Manhattan; I was in search of some new drawing implements (replacements, now that they are actually getting used), as well as some $1 books to use for an art exploration. Missions accomplished, and we followed it with a delightful (and delicious) lunch at Banjara on First… Continue reading the big town

Stanley (having been born of art supplies himself) also seems quite at home among the sightless baby heads and miscellaneous other findings in… Continue reading flat stanley
bits and bobs (and buttons!)
I started re-reading Coraline, by Neil Gaiman, last night (nearly finished), on account of all the hoopla about the animated film on its way. It really is a great story– so many bits of sparkle and sharp points writing. I'm sure the film will be impressive, but I can't help wishing that the "look" of… Continue reading bits and bobs (and buttons!)
A Sunday wander
Saturday was Anders' big 4-0 celebration, with folks in from out of town and much revelry. A large night. Sunday brought a mild sunny day and it was tailor-made for wandering. Ben, Merci Green and I walked through Fort Greene and into Williamsburg; stopped for a beer or two at the Brooklyn Brewery, then continued… Continue reading A Sunday wander
