Fall Rose

The colours are falling from the flowers. Fall is coming on so fast.

On to fall...

back to the sketch book...keeping all the memories of green fields and forests in my back pocket, close to my hands so i can grab on if i need to escape to quiet spot, as the comfort cover of summer slowly falls away around me.

salt on the road.

wondering wanderer.

i may have finally discovered the XX.

in the event of a longing heart, throw a party!

it did!

lush dreams left at the edge of the bed...caught under pillows and sheets.

a list....must also remember the cicada incident!

zoo heat.

antique hunting.

bliss.

NOLA

i've been on vacation...i'm back now...still dreaming of steamy steamy sidewalks and sunny homes. i fell in love from the first taste. hugging palms and columns, growing shutter for eyelids, my heart humid and iron strong. i love this place.

the old ones.

bleached grounds...

i want to go back.

So close to 100...this guy is a lonely fellow!

it's been lonely around the blog these days as i have been too busy splashing around in pools. the weather is perfect for swimming and i just can't stop!

Happy Canada Day!

Doodles. Last weekend was surreal here in toronto, our downtown was turned upside down by the G20. I went for a cycle and toronto felt like a ghost town. Windows boarded up, empty streets and patios and lonely sidewalks. I never saw any of the major protests, though i did witness the one that seemed to pop out of thin air at queen and noble. I was watching a world cup game with friends at the Caddy Lounge, when I got there the streets were barren and then BLAM there were all these police and Parkdale residents blocking up the street. Very strange and very surreal.

Koshi the cat is keeping me company right now. He is trying to eat my plants again, he is kind of like a giant slug nipping away at the leaves here and there. Koshi = trouble.

Day 83

I love a good hair accessory and so do these two lovely friends.

i spent this weekend deep in pages...

kyle and i found a box of books lying on the curb. most of the books were soaked through and ruined, but there was on science text book from 1974, that was still in tact. we took it home and i went to town on the muddy pages.

hiding from sight.

characters that are coming to life...soon i hope.

space is great!

this was a ridiculous night. absolute silly. it needed to be recorded.

Day 77

day 77...almost to 100! This might be my favourite yet! Summer wallpaper heating up the house.

Day 67

Wow, so it has been crazy around rhya town these days. my good friend ariel was in town for a visit and i was swept away into a friendship spaceship. A good place to be.

The weather has been stunning and my garden is a hilarious disaster. Major slug war in progress. Anyhoo, i am sticking to my ds project...so far up to 71 days!! very cool. Admittedly I did take a couple of nights off, but i am back at it. Also i can't wait to hit up my journal again...it's been too long.
