Wednesday 1 September 2010: Looking up
Things are. We're planning a little romantic, weekend getaway to the shores of The Big, Cold, Blue One. This will be the first time we've taken a trip together since our now departed doggie fell ill. To take care of now-queen-of-the-realm, we've hired the cat whisperer-her name for herself-a woman who is the only person other than us who can pet our slightly wacko, borderline feral cat without getting shredded.
Down the street at the Urban Garden Project, the small field of giant sunflowers are magnificent, towering far over my five foot three and a half, and even Mr. F's six foot three.
The air tonight is so clean and crisp you can....you can...well I'm just going to breath it in as deeply as I can, flushing out all the particles of canned air stuck way down at the bottom of my lungs.

I'm jealous you still have sunflowers to look at and take such beautiful photos of.
And hurray for cooler weather. And romantic getaways! :)

Oh I am so very happy that you are getting away. It will be good, it will. I promise. This is a sunny happy bright shot. I hope some of that is inside of you making you breath deeply.
Still can't get over the fact that you and I are both 5'3 and a half. Never met anyone the same exact height as me :).

Life has been hectic and I have been out of touch in blipland lately. I am starting to catch up and found out that your dog passed away. I am so sorry. There is nothing worse than losing your best friend, whether human or animal.
I hope you guys have a wonderful trip and that the nearly feral cat allows your cat sitter to pet her without drawing blood. We had one of those cats, too. I nearly had a heart attack once when our elderly neighbor watched the pets and she reported that she had picked up Misha and cuddled her. No one had ever been able to do that. She was a cat whisperer and didn't even know it.

You see, I take a photo of a flower and it's... nice. You take one and it's beautiful. What's your secret?
A trip - very exciting and just what you need.
