Wow. Just back from a week in heaven - doesn't translate readily into pixels, but I'll have a go at it:

dappled sunlight through hundred-year oak leaves

cricket obbligato with cicada cadenzas

sun - glorious, blessed sun!

lightning and thunder

rain on the order of sheep and yaks

music all day

music all night

love everywhere

sunspotted hammock naps
.....

I learned to walk on tall stilts - most fun ever! Missed walking in the parade: on my way I heard glorious cello, the Bach unaccompanied suites, stopped to listen. Two young women, one cello. Trading movements and passages back and forth on a sunny warm late afternoon under an oak. Mesmerized, blessed by cello vibrations.

Erin McKeown - wow. yow. meow!

Some new musical discoveries for me:

Ellis! Have you heard this woman? she's fantastic.

ditto Garrison Starr

dit-ditto Anne Heaton

now home, now in the garden. haricots verts (that's baby green beans, y'all), sugarpod peas, oceans of spinach and lettuce, and oh! those dahlias!
