On our visit out to el campo on my recent visit to central Mexico, we got to see some animals. Three photos today!

Friendly white sheep, in need of some Woolite.

So exciting! So adorable! Four-day-old baby chicks!

I am back from visiting my sister who lives in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, my first trip to San Miguel and only my second trip to Mexico altogether. The first one was so very long ago.

Of course it was photo heaven for me. I’ll be posting more than one photo for awhile, I think, since there were so very many wonderful images. Here are the first two.

We used to have a horse pasture behind our backyard. Those days are gone. Hope Tawny is grazing happily somewhere wonderful.

Went to a great event at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory on Valentine’s Day. What a fine place for some wine, jazz and a selfie!

Not sure the real name of these headpieces for little girls playing dress up, but I know if I was five I sure would want one! Later: They are called Fairy Crowns.

At the Seattle Art Museum recently I stopped to take a photo of a favorite exhibit: “Inopportune: Stage One,” also known as Tumbling Tauruses. I always like viewing this explosive-looking sculpture from the side, for some reason. Now I read it’s coming down soon. Go see them before they are gone!

I don’t know why I like this one so much; from a June sky.

This small painting, Three Peaches on a Plate by Henri Fantin-Latour, was painted in 1868, almost 150 years ago. I saw it at the Seattle Art Museum Impressionism show. I think it was my favorite painting there.
