stargazer

meet the stargazer:

toxic to cats

plant in full sun in loamy soil

moxie's favorite flower

created as a hybrid in 1978

we are bound by the same birth year

real water bugs...

...not so pretty. i prefer lady and gent water bugs, of the human type.

water bug: taking the plunge at lake chelan

before the plunge we all look posh and aloof in our vintage yard sale garb and cabin finds.

then j jumps,

m leaps (note the well positioned finger),

and emmy falls.

what about k, you say? he's too skinny and busy being on the voyage of the loner to dive into cold, clear lakes.

this is the first photo i am posting to this blog. my thought is to post photos because i like to take them and look at them and think about them and some of you even like to see them.

i know it's way past due not to know how do these things, and not to have done them, but i'm learning and now i know. so there!

this is from one of my early photo shoots with ed bender, circa 1982. his live/work studio was in the basement of the building that now houses samadhi yoga, at 12th and pine. in this photo i was sick, but cute nonetheless.

i am still sick and cute. go figure.
