Doors of Greece & My Scattertwig Mind

 

I can't believe how hard it's been to get myself together after this last vacation.  I took over 950 pictures over three weeks and I haven't done much with them.  I usually have an album done two days after returning, but it took me two weeks to find an album big enough and worthy enough of those magical days. 
I have enjoyed looking at your blogs though, and they inspire me beyond measure, as always.  Hopefully tomorrow will be the day I leave this scattertwig mind behind.  Mostly, I just want to say thanks for looking and hanging in there.

Exhausted but still Befunkied from my Vacation

These are all images from Greece and Istanbul, Turkey. Had an incredible time, and was sorry to see it end. Upon flying back into Philly, had the most incredible long weekend with old high school friends, most of which I hadn't seen in 30 years. What a lovely, lovely group of people, and I feel so lucky to have reconnected with all of them. (Reading this, Andrea?)

Saw all your nice messages on my previous post, and know that I have so missed checking out all your beautiful blogs and plan to do a serious catch-up this weekend. I can't wait to be inspired and touched and awed by everything I've missed.

Off to Wonderlands!

These are postcards I've received from other postcard loving strangers through Postcrossing.com.

Tomorrow I start my trek through these three wonderlands, Germany, Greece and Turkey, and I won't be back until about a month from now.

I will miss all my blogger friends and wish you all a lovely next summer month!

A Beautiful Place to Grow

A card for my Stairway to Heaven, reggae lovin', London livin', Lady Godiva friend Lorraine and her new husband Lynn. Heartbroken that I can't be there to celebrate with them. May their marriage be a beautiful place to grow.
Made with watercolors, markers, scrapbook piece by Jolee for you, and my cat Jeunefille's lovely hair living again as clouds. She doesn't mind, she has acres of clouds to spare.
p.s. TWO blogs in one day. What's up with that, I wonder???

Friday BeFunky World View

The view from my back porch. Sometimes we see egrets and big turtles. Sometimes when it rains really hard, little crabs find their way into my living room.

The sky has been extra wonderful lately, the clouds skipping and scattering into my dreams.

Who knows when this gate was broken? Perhaps the vines needed more air & light.
