A shattered glass window, covered with algae, forms abstract patterns. Gives off a vibe that reminds me of a work by Gustav Klimt, me thinks.... Seen at an abandoned shopfront in western Ireland.

A few years ago, Allison and I weren't really thrilled with how we were eating and how it impacted how we felt.
So we started eating more salads, more fruits and vegetables. More real food instead of processed. And noticed a difference.
We reached a plateau for a couple of years and are now in the process of taking the next step. We are more about making slow, incremental changes over time rather than major changes in one day.
For this next round, we are focusing on three areas. One, sugar intake. Two, chemical intake. Three, organic food.
We ran a survey this past weekend. We shop for groceries at two sister stores. The first is a discounted chain and the second is a little higher priced. We walked through both stores and wrote down the price of both organic and non-organic foods at each of the stores.
On average - we found that a fruit or vegetable costs about $0.75 to upgrade from non-organic to organic. Since we average 12 or so fruits and vegetables each week: our net add to go to organic will be $9 a week.
If that cost is too big, I would suggest only buying organic based on the Dirty Dozen List. These are the top 12 fruits and vegetables that have the most pesticide residue and therefore are the most important to buy organic. Buying four items on this list would add $3 to your trip and would be a small incremental change. :)
Happy, safe and healthy Friday to you my friend.

Casa Batlló, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Back to my Barcelona trip now, it feels such a long time ago now when I went. Such a great place and lots to do. Out of the Gaudi houses that I visited, this was by far my favourite, wouldn't it be great to have a room like this in your house?
Believe it or not but I waited for 30 minutes to get this image as there just seemed to be a continual stream of people coming through this room but my patience paid off and this is what I got. I decided to go for the low key feel on this image, really helped show all the shadows and bright parts of the room. I also tried a square crop but I felt that the image was not as 'punchy' and effective so went with the original crop which I hope you all like.

Information
Casa Batlló (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkazə βəʎˈʎo]) is a renowned building located in the heart of Barcelona and is one of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces. Casa Batlló is a remodel of a previously built house. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that. Casa Batlló evokes the creativity and playfulness of Gaudí’s work through the incracite facades and creative floors. Gaudí's assistants Domènec Sugrañes i Gras, Josep Canaleta and Joan Rubió also contributed to the renovation project.
The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.
The building looks very remarkable — like everything Gaudí designed, only identifiable as Modernisme or Art Nouveau in the broadest sense. The ground floor, in particular, is rather astonishing with tracery, irregular oval windows and flowing sculpted stone work.
It seems that the goal of the designer was to avoid straight lines completely. Much of the façade is decorated with a mosaic made of broken ceramic tiles (trencadís) that starts in shades of golden orange moving into greenish blues. The roof is arched and was likened to the back of a dragon or dinosaur. A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George (patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudí's home), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.
Part of a Chihuly sculpture. I find that I often don't care for his pieces as a whole, but that individual parts make interesting abstracts.
I find it ironic that fresh fruit and produce for a healthy life used to be all organic. But now you must pay for that privilege of getting safe and healthy food. Instead of Organic, maybe it should be renamed to Ironic.

The City of Milwaukee has partnered with Compost Crusader so start an "Organics collection" on the East Side of Milwaukee. Residents that want to participate will pay a small fee to "rent" the cart.
Walking down Rue de Médicis in Paris headed to the Jardin du Luxembourg and the street is lined with fabulous architecture. The organic shapes of the leaves created a great organic design against the buildings glowing in the afternoon light.

This is Allsay and yep, she's smoking a branch :P I've been working day shift, which is the complete opposite to my usual schedule, so my daily tasks have been all jumbled...including editing and what not. That's life though right?

Fertilizers, pesticides and animal feed are practically nonexistent in Batanes. Cattle typically roam free in the undulating hills and mountains, living off only on the natural pasturelands and watering holes. There are even WILD cattle interior of Batan in an area dubbed as Marlboro country. Probably the only regular "export" from Batanes is organic beef that is coveted gourmet fare in mainland Manila.
It is illegal to bring in meat and meat products into Batanes to prevent contamination and disease introduction. Only male cattle can be butcherered legally. Females are given a free pass for population propagation.

I like the way the organic shapes in this tree contrast against the structure of this building that spans one of the canals in Brugge.
