The haul from beach walks.

Ah! Paradise, at last! Hilo, Hawaii.

Hawaiian skyline.

My dear friend, Alicia Bay Laurel who invited me to come stay with her at her home in a Hawaiian rainforest. So I did, for nine days! It was pure bliss!

The bed inside of “Free Spirit”, the 1970 VW bus that my sister and I share custody of!

There she is… “Free Spirit”. The best sticker says, “Hippie Chicks Rule”.

The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. This is our daughter, Sarah (when she was a very little girl) in our friend’s magic bus. Sarah is grown now and is on her own as the creative, beautiful young woman that she is. She is also my webmaster!

Musicians at a local arts festival. Colorful and interesting.

The peaceful but bumpy road to and from Arcosanti. One of my favorite places in Arizona to go to relax, breathe, meditate and clear my head.

The first gourd on the vine.

Some of the harvest. These are two overgrown Rainbow Radishes.

A perfect place to curl up for a nap or a daydream.

Three cats in my bedroom window, a little bit like “Where’s Waldo”.

Painting myself into a corner in a spare bedroom, waiting for my new studio to be built.

Another amazing Arizona sunset viewed from my backyard.

Beautiful, cloudy, Arizona sky.

The brilliant skies of the southwestern desert range on the spectrum from yellow to purple.

A magical, rainy day - my favorite kind of day - on the front porch of my house.

On of my small garden spaces where we grow flowers, herbs, veggies and fruits.

One of my art gigs at the Main Artery in Scottsdale, Arizona. That’s me!
