I happened upon this beautiful old building while exploring this weekend.  It was hard to tell whether or not it was abandoned.  I found a few broken windows, and strangely there were also some lights on inside.  There was not a soul around nor any cars in sight.  Honestly I was a little creeped out hanging out for as long as I did but I just loved the beautiful patina, the textures and colors of the building and the rust, and the lines of the architecture.

Fog

Six ducks disappearing into the fog.  It is a gloomy day here in California, heavy rains and dark skies.  It has been one week since the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.  My heart is very heavy.

I love the way the rain falling made the landscape look so soft and muted and simultaneously so beautifully green and vibrant.

We've been doing a little spring cleaning and rearranging around the house this weekend. I was sad to part with my beloved copper shoes but they have definitely seen better days. I found those two new paintings at Urban Ore, $4 each!! The artist was a Bay Area artist who passed away a couple of years ago. I could not find out too much information on her but I thought it was so cool that her name was Maria Christina La Paz which coincidentally are my names and the city of my birth combined! A little matcha latte and some ginger chews are my latest favorites and helped make the day even better!
