Seeds of Love
The other day I was making a Greek Salad and thought a yellow pepper would add sweetness and zesty colour to the mix, so I sliced one open. To my surprise I found a “heart” shape amongst the seeds – can you see it? Actually I think this is a sort of neat shot with the light illuminating the spherical spaces from behind, adding another dimension to the “heart” imagery. Have you ever come across a fun coincidence with food? Let me know!
Starting off on a new foot.
My mom sent this to me today via email. I’ve seen it before, but it was exactly the extra little “push” I needed to get out of the semi-rut I’ve been in. What are some of the ways you stay on track and inspired?
Airport Hotel Macro
Sitting in a Roissy airport hotel room, trying to “relax” before a 4:00am wake-up call, I just wanted to drop you a note to say that I’m fluttering between free hotel wifi signals, airport signals, and who knows what awaits me when we arrive in the Casamance tomorrow!
For my 365 challenge, I spotted these sweet little white flowers outside the hotel. Late or early bloomers? You decide!
See you soon from the “Pays de Teranga”!
Design is…
My sister was born with an illustrators’ pen in hand. I can’t draw to save my life, but I have a love of great design. I came across this montage which I think is really cool.
Le Flaneur
What better place to “flâne” than Paris? Charles Baudelaire developed a derived meaning of flâneur—that of “a person who walks the city in order to experience it” (via Wiki).
Let it snow!
…as long as I’m in front of a roaring fireplace with a glass of wine and someone I love!
