The Colors of the World...

... are changing, day by day... (10 points for the song ref)

This is the mango ice cream from The Globe Indian restaurant here in Topeka. It's gorgeous (*and* yummy).

And this is a "cleome" according to Hank. By my reckoning, it's a Dr. Seuss character... ;-)

For Meriel...

I was missing Meriel, and thinking about Tres Margaritas, so last night I made pseudo-guacamole. Above, the ingredients ready to be chopped... (Look Mom, I bought a tomato, on purpose!)

The tomato, totally deslimed
(I cored it like a pepper).

The slime.

Limes and avos ready and waiting.

If you have a juicer, why not use it?
(Notice the spiffy Jeanne Marie–woven
kitchen towel just on the right.)After avocado removal... (with cilantro leavings...)

Ready to eat. Yummmmmm...

Candlemas in Dragonsspine...

The thrones awaiting royalty at Candlmas in Dragonsspine (Colorado Springs, CO). I really like the way the light works in this one.

Others from Saturday--

The view when I got up (way too early). I just thought the moon looked cool, the phone couldn't capture it (I actually took this from inside), but I still kinda like the affect...


The vigil food--the spread was purty:


The view out the back door of the event. (The juxtaposition of the mountains, the chainlink fence, and the water tower amused me--I esp. like the "No Trespassing" sign.)
