Crossing The Bridge of Time into 2011!.

Jorge's Tulip Bouquet

I couldn’t resist sharing this beautiful mosaic done by my new friend Jorge Somarriba. Check out all the lovely things on his blog.

And his wife Eneida also has a blog — hers is wonderful too. We must persuade her to post more often!

My hubby Pat and I tried to watch the ball drop last night and actually stayed awake til the magic moment. We heard the crowd count down and saw all the resulting fireworks but didn’t see the ball drop! Channel 4 had such a long shot that we missed it. Oh well, 2011 still made it in the door. We’re hoping for a good year and feeling optimistic.

My toe in the water (last October 8th) barely got wet. I saw the wordpress challenge to blog daily in 2011. Will see what I can do. Over & out — I don’t want to wear out my words by overdoing it right at the start!

I can’t resist clipping newspapers and mags (so far, my books are sacred), collecting pretty or interesting things I happen upon along the road, and now saving digital copies of meaningful words and beautiful images I find on the web. Even my extra-huge hard drive is at risk. But I love to have my pretties at hand. Knowing where they are (or, worst, were) is simply not enough. I’ve got to be able to lay eyes on them when I want. The wonderful thing that caught my eye today is a collection of photographs by Hans Silvester, capturing the beauty and dignity of Ethiopian tribespeople.

What dignity!
