Stoked for Stacks

0 Comments Published July 17th, 2008.

Abbey should be excited about this post because it includes more photos from woodpiles in Vermont.

These amazing birch logs at my Father-in-law’s (also named Bob) have turned all metallic and pealing beautiful. You might remember my other photos of his woodpile which have made their way around my blog block.

This photo taken by BobDad (that’s easier to type) is of his parents’ wood pile. It’s a good illustration of their overall well-stocked and organized home.

And while we’re on the subject of stacks, this is a vertical collection of floral patterned mattresses back at BobDad’s.

Change of plans

The plan was to visit Dad and camp in Vermont this weekend. Since we have the rare chance to see my brother (a resident of S.C.) in Boston on Saturday and also because the weather doesn’t look favorable for tenting, Vermont will have to wait. Here’s a pic from a recent end-of-May weekend [...]

I’ve been garlanding together some fabric circles. This morning they looked particularly beautiful hanging against a cotton tea towel with the light breaking into the studio. The shadows the garland casts are so lovely, it might be hard to remove them from their current, effortless drape on the wire hanger. I’ll be sure to assemble [...]

Scan of the Day

Because I love all kinds of materials and processes and because one can never have too many projects on their desk, (gasp!) I’ve decided it’s time to follow through with some of the fine art-ish ideas swirling in the ‘ol noggin. I’m excited and ready for input, so I thought now is a good [...]

Our final day we picniced and walked along the beach at Torrey Pines State Reserve

We hiked a few of the shorter trails and even saw a rattlesnake that was too quick for my camera. For city folk like us, seeing a rattle snake in the wild is a big deal.

California poppies. I’ve since planted some [...]

A few of my favorite shots from San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park in Escondito:
