refreshing creek walking~ but not with officially waterproof boots

i need to commune with nature. 

after crossing the shallow part barefoot, resting on a tree root.

winding cold water. 

more enchantment

it was like walking into another realm...

across the creek.

abandonment to start a new life.

haitian art

my heart is saddened for the people of Haiti.

what is very strange to me is, that last week while at a trade show, i purchased these two pieces of art::

these beautiful sculptures are crafted from flattened steel oil drums.

they are made by sculptors in Haiti. 

they are even more special to me now.
