New Mac

Learning, arranging, connecting, clearing, putting all in order for my new Mac!! It's exciting. Now to order a new printer. I feel I'm expanding my horizons. And isn't that what Life is all About?? Expanding, growing, becoming more than you were. Should be an everyday occurrence. Image is one portrait done my my good friends Kathy & Lou during the last visit to Chicago. Cool.

Halloween Storm 2011

We had 17" of heavy, wet snow here in western Connecticut, that smashed any tree and bush with leaves on it. This is the calm after the storm. 60 degree days now are so relished!!

Doing Istanbul

We're walking, and walking, and now for Mahmutpasa Yokusu, the street of a thousand shops, on the way to the Grand Bazaar! In the GB we discovered Kerem, the man with the coolest Astrology devices used for navigating. What a treasure! Pic of me on the balcony at Topkapi Palace. We love this place!

Istanbul Hippodrome

Obelisks and Minarets in Hippodrome

Road to Archaeological Museum

The Ancient Hippodrome in Istanbul is a park gathering place for Everybody! Vendors sell some hot, filled pita bread, corn on the cob, and of course, Turkish Taffee! It's right down the street from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. We always felt SAFE, accepted, and welcomed.

Istanbul

 

Istanbul
  What a great memorable 25th Anniversary experience. Fountains are found all over the city for refreshing your face, washing hand, feet.
Dome of the Blue Mosque, called that because of the intricate blue inlaid tiles.

 

Istanbul

Just returned from a wondrous adventure to Istanbul, Crete, and Athens. Narrow cobblestone streets led us to Byzantine Churches, amazing museums, and truly ancient ruins. A dream come true. I love Hagia Sophia, Church of the Holy Wisdom that is now a museum, in Istanbul. Great to actually see the many images I studied so long ago in Art History classes.

Power & Energy

Still 5400 people without power in New Milford, and possibly will not have it until Saturday! Even though we dodged the bullet, Protecting ourselves with a propane generator is next on our list. Keep seeing the power on, streets clear, river down, and trees standing. Thoughts are power. We're all in this together. Image is "She Who Watches Over" done during the storm.
