This is the view from my bedroom window. When I woke up this morning the yellow of the flowers really stood out in the morning light. It was far more dramatic than I have been able to capture in this photograph.

exTexAnn (formerly Desert Rose) and I met for lunch downtown and then went on a photo shoot. The assignment seemed daunting as it required boldness and more than a little chuztpah but once we explained the assignment, everyone, as in every single person, was more than happy to pose. I did have to ask people to hold off on giving their names until we took their photo because once the hand was extended and the name given...well...strangers no more.
BTW...this photo was taken today not yesterday as the EXIF indicates. Also, this photo was not cropped.
Who painted the sky?
As I got off the train at Upper Hutt this evening (on my way to the hairdresser) I saw someone taking a photo of the sky. I looked up and saw this.

I just noticed that in addition to the rest of my face being bloodied and swollen from oral surgery, I also have a black eye. Yay. Taken with the front camera on the iPhone with Camera+
The Groundnuts Project -- sounds like a 60's band. I spent last Friday
traveling with the hospital truck to a nearby district to pick up around
4,000kg of seeds for peanuts and soybeans to bring back for seed
distribution this week. It's been kind of a madhouse with staying up
late to pack up seeds, leaving early in the morning the next day to
travel out to the villages and do the distribution ceremony, and cover
my inpatient duties at the hospital. We ended up moving around a total
of around 8,000kg of seeds, which has been developing my back and
stomach muscles -- Zambians have such good core strength, I think it
comes from hoeing and hauling around 50kg sacks of maize! You could
continue to pray that people feel the love of God through the work at
the hospital and through these gifts of seeds, and that there will be a
good harvest for the families that plant them.
Otaki
Today we drove Adrian up the Kapiti Coast to Otaki. Partly to see the scenery on the way up and partly so he could go to the outlet stores there before our skiing trip. Once we'd done the shops and had some brunch we went down to the river. It is still officially winter (spring starts on 1st September) but everywhere I look there is yellow, Not just the daffodils but this yellow tree. I don't know what it is called but it is pretty.

The Toronto skyline viewed at the rooftop of Hyatt! Had a summerlicious dinner with my crazy awesome high school buddies at Annona and thank you to my friend's bf, our chef! Omg, the five course meal filled us up like whoa.
(Now if only I adjusted my settings for this night shot. Oh how gorgeous the view was!)
#61 of 365 Daily Drawings
Inspiration: Looking at Men's Vogue
Result: A coffee break
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Micron 005 & 02 pens, in a Moleskine plain journal
Location: At home
Note: Aside from drooling over men's fashion collections I really have no idea what corner of my brain this one popped out of....he turned out dreadfully severe though. Like a professor who's coffee break has been interrupted by an annoying grad student....
AND just in case you were wondering...I am 1/6th of the way through my drawing-a-day-for-a-year project!
