 The real Rose tree is always spectacular

 The umbrella oriental tree is dazzling, first designed for a Chinese restaurant where I installed plants for my business (I put plants into Law firms, Banks and restaurants.) 

So I did their Christmas trees too..

 I decorate trees, and have professionally. 

And I make many ornaments as well.

 From San Miguel de Allende where I used to spend some of my time.

It's Pumpkin and Spider Time, Mushroom and Apple Cider Time and Time for Shakti to pay Another Visit Time

My dear friend from Italy, Shakti. 

She was here in the fall some years ago. 

We had so much fun. 

What a beautiful woman she is and such a nice photo. 

Shakti teaches meditation and non duality in Italy and other places. 

I miss you, come back!!

A Jewelers suzani. 

From the Silk Road. 

A pacific giant pumpkin. 

It didn't become giant though!

And a few shrooms in the yard. I think deer have been eating them. 

Thank you Shakti for the lovely pic

And sending you big hugs. 

Weekend at Mt Rainier, Paradise

Paradise

Is there more to say?

Pictures, really are, worth, a thousand, words.

An old lodge room I've visited over the years. I'm sure it

Will be seeing more of me this fall. 

Maybe the best beach in the world...

As seen through these eyes...

How many times?

The giant greens are beautiful, life. 

The lobby at the lodge. 

Will sitting and reading or sipping and watching mindfully

Ever be the same at this place that an Aramark manager is wrecking in his ignorance?
