Ocean.

Traveled to Pacific Grove, CA with my Mom today.

Lovely sunny day to be on the coast.

Roses at Gamble Garden.

Going to California for the weekend.

Hope to visit Gamble Garden.

Here is a shot from my last visit.

Crafty Folks, Amanda Blake.

I love Amanda Blake's oil paintings.

Her Portraits bring me to another world.

I love that the folks are usually a bit somber or maybe just relaxed,

like we have caught them in a moment where they didn't think we were around.

Check out her blog with great examples of her work.

Buy originals and prints here and here.

Goat Love.

I'm not quite sure how it happened...but I fell in love with goats.

My biological clock is ticking away for goat babies.

For now I am lucky enough to be friends with a farmer

who is raising a herd of twenty Kikos.

Time watching the goat channel is time well spent.
