Tea on Tuesday of course! Here Mona and I are with Nell (porcelain head) and Oscar (the frog)…. My family and I are starting the New Year over, one day at a time. The holidays were far from that, with many trips to the doctor, the urgent care and finally ringing in the New Year (12am) in the Emergency Room with my mom… which was an interesting event. The doctors finally deduced that she was dehydrated from a water pill she had taken a week or so prior to this. After a few IV’s, quite a few tests (which could not explain the mystery pain), she was determined to be free to leave and come home on the 3rd with instructions to drink more water!
With the Autumnal Equinox occurring last week I felt it was time to bring out some rich, warm colors, and a bit of nature. This morning it is Earl Gray, English Breakfast tea, with a little squirt of milk and honey.
Phase 2: a dangling zipper pull is the catalyst for the terrifying transformation about to transpire. If this were the TV Hulk, now is when Bill Bixby's eyes would turn white.
Here is my favorite artistic (non-family) picture from Disneyland. It was taken early in the morning around 7:30am during the "Magic Morning" hour before the park is open to the general public. Disneyland opened 2 hours early (at 8am) this week because of Spring Break. I love the vibrant colors and the sense of motion in the teacups. I played around with different shutter speeds to cover a range of motion blur. This one is my favorite as you get the sense of motion without becoming unrecognizable.
A porcelain vessel, dating to the late 1990s, by Kirk Mangus (1952-2013).
I knew Kirk best by his works. This look at his pieces in my collection is part of how I'm remembering him.
