Ruby Tuesday

I visited a huge indoor flea market recently, and
the thing I really wanted to buy was this
beautiful old antique dollhouse. (I didn't get it—
it was $400 for one thing.)  On the other hand ...

It was completely furnished!

Hair today . . .

I was walking around my Brooklyn neighborhood 
when I spotted this woman with very
 interesting blue "hair." (And what would I 
do with this photo if I didn't have a blog?)

Shadow Shot Sunday

Last week I featured some "feather trees" on this
sun-drenched patio.  Fortunately, they also
have some strategically placed umbrellas.

The Weekend in Black and White

This is my absolute dead fave piece of sculpture in the
world: The Nike of Samothrace, aka Winged Victory.
I fell in love with her the very first time I walked
into the Louvre—almost (ahem) 50 years ago.
But she's even older than I am; it's estimated that
she was created about 2,200 (and 1) years ago!

Skywatch Friday/Weekend Reflections

Somewhere the sky touches the earth,
and the name of that place is the end.
                      —Wakamba saying


So what is it called when the sky lives in the river?

Thursday Challenge—"symmetry"

All lined up at a flea market: these
water-bearing putti and big, fat planters.
I think this image fits the challenge . . .

ABC Wednesday—B is for "beautiful boy"

And he lives in Brooklyn. I've featured young
Lukas here before (he was brand new the first time).
I think he just grows more beautiful, and his personal 

photographer/"auntie" (my daughter Lila) agrees!
