a trip to the buddhist sculpture garden
buddhist temple of san antonio : january 2011

FINALLY.
i am working on some of the images from texas. last week i started feeling "better" as opposed to sort of blahSad since returning. then yesterday i went crazy playing with pictures. still having problems at the artTable though i finished lots of small pieces and put them on my etsy where they long for new homes. but ... that blurb later. this is about the pictures.

my poor bigGirl camera, i barely remember her name - aretha, i think - this was her only chance to come out and play. and it wasn't even with ME, it was with my sister, Pam. these are all her images! i only edited them a little - didn't even transform them. i just wanted to try to show this amazing place a little. i don't know what faction of buddhists are at this temple, but it is amazing, sitting on a couple of acres at the edge of a prissy subdivision, in far northwest san antonio. the parking lot gate was open, so we just parked and began wandering in the sculpture yard and shooting. it was such a happy place, almost childlike. the images have a bit of description, so i won't go on and on, but it was GOOD.

i also finished the driveby shots, which i actually made with aretha. all other images were made with the ipod and i am still working on them. otherwise, walking a lot, trying not to eat like a pig, drinking a little red wine (not now, it's morning), reading too much, flossing regularly and hoping we don't really have 24 hours of ice storm coming up. that stuff is really hard to walk to work in. ice. shudder.
