Yellow, Hello

Be back hopefully later today with more pictures!  With all this rain, rain, rain we have been staying in and doing some massive organizing (yawn) and rearranging (yes!) when the sun comes back we will be ready and waiting!  Took this picture a few days ago nearby...

Shades of Pink and Green

Weekend Exploring

 

I happened upon this beautiful old building while exploring this weekend.  It was hard to tell whether or not it was abandoned.  I found a few broken windows, and strangely there were also some lights on inside.  There was not a soul around nor any cars in sight.  Honestly I was a little creeped out hanging out for as long as I did but I just loved the beautiful patina, the textures and colors of the building and the rust, and the lines of the architecture.

Fog

 

Six ducks disappearing into the fog.  It is a gloomy day here in California, heavy rains and dark skies.  It has been one week since the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.  My heart is very heavy.

Rainy Day Drive

I love the way the rain falling made the landscape look so soft and muted and simultaneously so beautifully green and vibrant.

Around the House

We've been doing a little spring cleaning and rearranging around the house this weekend. I was sad to part with my beloved copper shoes but they have definitely seen better days. I found those two new paintings at Urban Ore, $4 each!! The artist was a Bay Area artist who passed away a couple of years ago. I could not find out too much information on her but I thought it was so cool that her name was Maria Christina La Paz which coincidentally are my names and the city of my birth combined! A little matcha latte and some ginger chews are my latest favorites and helped make the day even better!
