this is martine's adorable puppy pax!! he is so sweet but really sick and skin and bones. it is pretty sad because they don't really know what is wrong with him so it is hard to treat him.
This was the changeover area at the Mountain Mayhem 24hr mountain bike race this weekend. It rained plenty and there was quite a lot of mud!
I took this photo just before midnight. I went out for my first lap at 01:00 while it was still raining. The mud was quite sloppy then so I got round easily compared to people earlier and later on. The mud was stickier then which made it even harder going. I got round most of the 10 mile course without having to push much. The 1.5" Continental Cross Country tyres worked a treat. They only seem to come out once a year and that's for this race.
You got me caught in all this mess.
I guess we can blame it on the rain.
My pain is knowing I can't have you.
I can't have you.
Today I decided to redo yesterday's as it was still raining and yesterday's picture was pretty sloppy. This one's much better:)
Today I went to my piano lesson and afterwards, went to Michael's and splurged a little on new watercolors (dry pats, wet tubes, and watercolor pencils) and also one piece of gigantic watercolor paper that I cut into two pieces to have a semi-normal size. I began on a surreal watercolor, a profile of a girl. I'm really happy with the way it's coming out!

The pen is said to be mightier than the sword—an adage extolling the power of communication, of words, their democracy, their universality. Everyone can wield a pen to express their point of view and emotions, to assert an impact on the world. Writing enables people to leave traces of their lives, to tell their stories, to make a mark. Founded in 1906, Montblanc is synonymous with refined writing culture, offering quality luxury products of traditional craftsmanship, functional benefit and beauty, crafted with passion by master artisans, reflecting the high expectations of its customers.
Especially valuable in this modern age of technology, handwriting is a personal art form that gives expression to individual thoughts with a unique aesthetic. Montblanc wishes to inspire people to write by providing the instruments with which to create, to leave their own mark. Like a Stradivarius or a Steinway, Montblanc instruments are precisely geared, finely tuned artistic creations serving as tools for the creative endeavors of others. Paying homage to humanity’s great writers, artists, explorers and achievers with its limited-edition High Artistry collections, Montblanc wishes to celebrate through its writing instruments the power of the hand, and of humanity, to communicate more than just words.
Montblanc: Inspire Writing tells the remarkable story of a pioneering Maison striving since its very inception to inspire people to write, to let their thoughts flow across a page, to leave their mark, pen in hand. Through the words of journalist and author Alex Fury, punctuated by archive images, documents and striking new product visuals by photographer Laziz Hamani, the book reveals the multifaceted identity of Montblanc, as the summit of luxury writing instruments for people who strive for excellence and dare to make their individual mark with signature flair and style. It also reminds us of the power of handwriting and the traces of humanity found in every letter inked on paper.
Montblanc pens are in fact instruments, finely tuned artistic creations that serve as tools for the creative endeavours of others. With each of its editions, Montblanc continues to excite new creativity through the memory of creatives that have gone before, and who still create today - galvanizing others toward leaving their own mark, one handwritten word at a time.
