Weekends...

Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them

-John Shirley

Happy Earth Day

Did you have a good weekend? I hope so! I was supposed to be processing photos and doing some other work but the weather was so beautiful in New York that I decided that lounging on the terrace tending to my flowers, going out with my camera, finishing up my book and going for long walks was a better idea...am I wrong?

Today's Soundtrack:
The Fray - Say When

I'm quite obsessed with The Fray lately. The Pandora station is pretty awesome and I was so excited when they performed on the Today show this morning...not a bad way to start a Monday.

PS--I thought the quote above was perfect for a Monday but also ironic given that it was said by a writer of horror and science fiction. I never thought I would read John Shirley's name attached to the word "rainbow"...

By the way, you can buy this photo here...
