Mail Art, of course, and more

 I discovered this photo that I'd taken with my cell phone, forgot I'd taken it. A tee shirt at a shop in Duck. We do heart Duck. It's basically a dot on the map of the Outer Banks, but has nice places to stroll & look in little shops & now a really nice board walk along the Sound.

I'm playing with bits of old colored paper again. It's difficult to work with them because any adhesive that spreads onto them doesn't clean up well. Ugh! I dislike messy glue-ing. 







I'm finding good quotes about color to write on the backs and post to Facebook with these. Today is day 120. Have no idea what I'll do today. Maybe I'll keep going with color bits through the weekend and start a new series on Monday. 245 days to go!

I drove through the park on my way home from Spanish class on Wednesday and had to stop and get out of my car to appreciate this tall tree. It was still full of wonderfully yellow leaves. They looked so bright against the blue sky.

Mail Art and the storm!

 This is the scan on my old Epson scanner - which has just gotten very tired!

 I scanned this postcard on our HP printer/scanner that is new-ish. What a difference. Wow, I hadn't realized how tired the Epson was.

 This is Mail Art #85 (scanned on HP) I just made it and dedicate it to the impending storm frenzy. It's entitled  "Sandy waited patiently for her namesake storm, while all about her fretted."

Isn't this pretty? It's our Carillon in Byrd park. We were there on Wednesday night  with lots of other volunteers, for our assignments for the Rally for Obama on Thursday. The sky was beautiful, the flag lit up, the lights at the top, so dramatic.

And my little old-school phone still takes a good photo, right?

The storm is due to land on us on Tuesday. I'm off to the market, hopefully there is still some food and flashlight batteries left. People get so intense preparing for storms.

Going to Chicago.....

I remember hearing this song for the first time on a record by Lambert Hendricks and Ross way back, way back. And now, we're headed back to Chicago for a short "walk" down memory lane. Hope I'll have lots of good photos to share with you. Here's one from Millennium Park, (taken by MissHedgehog.) I can't wait to see this in person. Back soon!

Bercy Park and stadium

The weather was nice on Tuesday, so we decided to walk from Bercy Village, through the park to the next closer Metro stop, Bercy, which is right by the stadium. The park was wild, natural looking, a lovely walk. There was a vineyard, a formal garden, some sports area, people running, the Cinemathèque Français, and at the end of the walk: Voilà, this very modern, futuristic structure.
