Shadow Shot Sunday

I started my new 27-hour work schedule in mid-February, and now the weeks just fly by. Teaching ESL is actually a nice break for me. My students always have something interesting or funny to tell me. I finally have a balance between my Art and part-time work. Hurray!

I needed to get some outside business done last week. I took my camera with me and got this shot of the street hydrant and my shadow. It was sunny and windy. I was bundled up in my double coat.

Hey that's cool! I have to say that your street hydrants are much prettier than the ones we have over here. I want street hydrants like you have!

A very charming piece of street art photographed by a (seemingly) very round lady!

I think I didn't get enough depth in this photo so it looks very flat like a painting, but I kind of like it.

I had never noticed these street hydrants until the day I took this photo! They are very decorative as some of you have noted.

Thanks everyone for coming by:)

Cat Drawing, Sunday Sketches

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
