A quick trip to San Diego, only a couple of hours for sightseeing. Didn’t think there would be time for anything beyond chauffeuring. I had to drive Mom in for a minor surgery. Pleased as punch to find myself in La Jolla with time to wander.

I was able to visit two of my all-time favorite places. The Children’s Pool and Mount Soledad. It felt wrong to leave Mom alone, but she requested photos of La Jolla for a friend. While she was “sleeping”, Pete and I headed south. I took nearly 600 photos! In about an hours time. Mostly because I was trying to catch the animals, or the waves.

Haven’t had time to go through them. We’re on the road again to Phoenix, and our family turkey dinner. We were blessed to spend Thanksgiving Day with friends before heading home.

Happy (what day is it?) Monday to you!

A Year In The Life Of Mingus

Mingus Sunrise 9.22.17. SMD

August made it a year in Arizona. Thought you might enjoy a look back at the changing Mingus view. These are in reverse order. Some are more about the clouds, than the mountains. There is one of Granite mountain as well. Enjoy my friends!

First LYA Sides Arrive

Postcards from David Wolanski and Kris McNeil. LYA 2017

Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art swap is still a week away. But look at the awesome side swaps that have come my way!

The trees are both from David Wolanski. The top photo is a Limited Edition Postcard Series. “Black and White Meditations #6 , 7 of 25” Taken in the Mississippi Delta with His Holga Film Camera. Dreamy don’t you think!?

The tree on the bottom is at Windsor Ruins. David wrote that he sends cards out at random intervals, just because he can. So this is an extra, extra card! Thank you David for adding me to your list! I have a fondness for trees. This one reminds me of a tree I slid down at Girl Scout camp. David teased that he would learn how to spell my name. No Worries. There are about five ways of spelling it, and mine makes the least sense. LOL. Here’s a little personal (that means I made up) grammar rule: “I before e except after c and sh”.

The wonderfully historic, and slightly scary, building is in Old Town Square in Prague. I believe it is the Týn Church. Kris McNeil has a larger version on her site. So beautiful! And check out her banner shot – WOW!

I just love learning about historic places and buildings. And I have to admit I took longer than usual writing this post. Thank you Kris and David for introducing these treasures to me! I love each of these cards!

Sunset in Prescott Valley

Tonight the sunset was spectacular. Looking to the east, there was just a mellow pinkish peach that warmed Mingus and then the sky. But out back was this…
