Speaking of Art....

A majestic and historical Torrey pine had to be cut down at Swami's beach earlier this year because of beetle infestation. The remaining log was carved by a local artist and will remain as stump reminder for a few years. It's hard to see the empty space, but I do like the wise face.

Illegal Surfer

One night, some "artists" crept under the railroad trestles in Encinitas and painstakingly attached hundreds of mosaic tiles to the underpass. In the morning, the community woke up to a beautiful piece of "illegal" art...not sanctioned by the City. Yikes! Now the art is the subject of heated debate - does the city tolerate such acts of artistic defiance or do they pay big bucks to have it removed? Isn't the point of art to cause one to think? Stay tuned....

More Like Pigs

The bird feeder was filled to the top yesterday. Whoever coined the expression "eats like a bird" obviously doesn't know our birds...

Cutie Cat

Sometimes, he is just so darn cute!

May Day Darby

I was terrible about posting pictures in April - a trip to Indy, spring break, report cards - I took photos but never posted. May 1 brings a new resolve, and of course, what better way to start than with May Day Darby?

W&W and B&B.

Another celebration for Lee's birthday involved the wine and whine ladies and the men. Michelle ran in at the absolute last second to be "that guy". I guess she just likes being one of the boys!

Hi Will

Took the day off to take Will up to see Auntie Kathi and have lunch. It was an interesting meal with the non English speaking exchange student...but we somehow managed with lots of hand signals and a hand held translator.
