When even the hardiest of flowers
begin turning up their toes…
Well. Not the ALL of them….
This is a beautiful and mesmerizing copper kinetic wind sculpture from the artist Lyman Whitaker
(find more of his super cool work here)
that now resides in the jungle…
Thanks to my generous brother….He the art…not my brother is called ‘Double Spinner’
….and it does not curl up it’s toes in our heat.
take that pansy flowers!
In the true heat of a tropical summer
we spend a lot of the
evenings
here
Under the fan
by the pool.
So does he.
King of the dog days…
Stay cool my friends….

So as summer and sun and heat ramble in , It’s time to turn to the cool blues
of water...
I don’t have much blue in this casa…
but am thinking of painting a wall in the den one of these colors of cool water
but I can play around with a few pillows…
and Henry.
He is a whale of rather large proportions of the lightest most diaphanous linen
I love him. you can find one here
I’m just not sure what to do with him
any suggestions?
Then... when you figure that out,
meet my new found friend…
Penelope
Fresh from New Zealand Artist Melina Martin
her lot in life will most likely be a tea towel…
But Henry is far to big and fancy for that.

Some favorite images of summer
slowly ever so slowly in these parts shifting to cooler climes
