One thousand heavenly voices
singing Dona Nobis Pacem
in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
John Nava’s tapestries line the walls
my cousin Katherine Rose standing in as Jacinta

Day in LA…part 1
Los Angeles is rarely my destination of choice…however….a friend, a concert and the promise of an Italian meal tipped the scales.
the restaurant
housed in a former bank building, the juxtaposition of grand architecture and contemporary decor…arresting
open kitchen, pantry, and liquor cabinet…all fascinating.
Intrigued by the design elements, I neglected to get a picture of the best lemon pasta ever!!!!
End of Summer…Martha’s Vineyard
respite from the cares of the world…
peace that passes understanding

a Boston wine bistro
Aquitaine
recently renovated
mussels
shaved brussel sprouts lyonnaise
salmon with shared pommes frites
grapefruit, raspberry, passion fruit sorbet
so reminiscent of L’Isle Sur la Sorgue……..
Flora: rural Colorado
Punctuating the vast expanses of fields, forests, grass and farmland – COLOR!!!!!
yellow dominates with touches of blue lupine
orange hits the high note
balls of white fluff
GREEN leaves my drought-stricken senses reeling!!!!!
Essence: rural Colorado
…wandering the rural highways of Colorado – stepping visually into the past…
…connected to Colorado by family rather than residence, I love to visit, to feel the pull of the Italian immigrants who were my grandparents; their children, one of whom was my mother…

‘Portlandia’ Part 2
colors from the Portland farmer’s market
although not dressed as colorfully as some, this ‘Portlandian’ has a heart of gold…
he treated my two cousins and me to this last piece of the best almond cake on earth!!!!
According to the proprietor he treats someone each week – if you are in the right place at the right time……….!!!!
