The problem when it’s not your camera…

… is that you don’t have any of the pictures to work with after the trip is over. Instead, I’m at the whim of my guy to choose and send me some. Still, what is worse is arriving home at 11:30pm to an apartment where the power has been cut because the power bill did […]

The body and mind

They are willing, but the skin cannot hold – in the Buttermilks. I made much better progress on a project (Solarium, V4) in the Happys yesterday. I very nearly had it, but the top sloper was just a bit too slippery in the hot afternoon sun.

Not a bad way to start

…in Mexico, but it certainly has been 1-cat cold. So, I had to get a cat. Of course. Since meeting the effervescent Dulce, I had been considering getting a cat, but I was firm on wanting to rescue one. What was saving me was that I didn’t know the words in Spanish for “animal shelter”.  Then, […]

Surprised, Scraped, Smacked around, but still Smiling

I was totally unprepared to be climbing well on the tufa-filled caves of Guadalcázar. I had either been avoiding or unable to join the group on the previous trips for the 3-hour drive up north into San Luis Potosí, but I’m very glad that I did join them this time. It is a beautiful place, […]
