I think I remember the guy in the middle from one of Warhol's screen tests in '64. He's got a focus that you don't find in most gerbils.

New Chairs

New for me at least. And some gratuitous cat shots. I've been trying to spruce up the joint. Its been fun. More photos here

Plant: Rescue

I had to bring the plants inside from the rain. Its been raining all month, now.
But I put the mouse outside, away from the cats. It was only drizzling then.

Weekend: Nuts

This was in my avocado
















Santi came home with a story about this little guy throwing bits of bark down from a tree he was sitting underneath.

Hairy

Downward Facing Wall

I saw these two this morning; beautiful.

Ahem

Maybe it was the hot, heavy air. Maybe it was smooth cooings of Natiale Merchant reprimanding child abusers in the background. Or maybe it was the raw cut of his synthetic lamb's wool.

Whatever it was, it was magic.

Weekend: Get Down

Congratulations Daria and Diego for a lovely wedding and a life together.

2008 Wathbath Summit

Honestly this year is not as impressive as '07 or '06 but I still go out of my way to walk past it.

I Want To Believe

The public opening for the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibition is tonight at the Guggenheim (NY). I am looking forward to seeing his work in person. Its seems to possess so much energy. If you are not immediately familiar, maybe then you would recall hearing about an artist that creates images with gun powder and pigment? That is him.For me Cai Guo-Qiang strikes the perfect balance between concept and execution. And of course, here's your wiki.

Weekend: Home

Is it just me, or is this cat giving me attitude?
Found this 18" yucca root at the local farmers market.

Take Your Breath Away

You how when its cold out and your cat or dog becomes sentimental about how loving/warm you are and wants to sleep right next to you, under the covers but you are never still long enough so s/he settles for encrocahing on your pillow space in a manner that says "... oh you don't mind do you.." and then you both get all settled in and you are facing each other which makes for colliding breathing paths, which means you are breathing in her/is breath cause s/he is positioned highter than you?














That always kinda creeps me out.

Weekend: Helen, Georgia

This past weekend I met my Dad's family in Helen. Just like the years of my younger youth, we stayed in a 10 bedroom cabin-complete with chapel- nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cabin is on the Sautee Ranch, as in cattle ranch, and was originally built for a Cherokee/ Chatholic couple who managed to produce 14 children. As we were winding our way through the mountains towards our destination Friday night, our headlights found a sheep(a sheep!) running down the side of the road. This was most surreal for me! But on with the photos. I hope you enjoy.

mmmmOOOoooDad took us on a nature hike and we found an animal bone...which I brought home with me!

The weather was perfect

This is an interesting structure that hunters use to "clean" their kill which is usually deer. Note that these structures don't always look like a crucifix. bizarre.

Weekend: Helen, Georgia Continued

We had two visitors to the ranch who were kind enough to let us pet and feed them.

No ass can resist my father's charmThis is a female pot belly pig.

Cherokee burial mount. If I remeber correctly, a young couple was buried here.
