something interesting & beautiful for a sunday…
i had no idea who neil de grasse tyson was until a week ago. but now that i know, i’m going to watch and read every single solitary thing i can about him. just as soon as i’m finished with adele bloch-bauer, klimt, van gogh, and maira kalman. then i am.
i have been craving time at the beach. walking, thinking, splashing, looking. at everything. taking it all in.
and right in the middle of all that longing i received an invitation from my crochet guru joyce {remember her?} to come spend a couple of days with her at the beach. i thought about it for 3 seconds and said YES!
so i’m heading out. my bag is packed. see you when i get home!
and like the good girl reporter i am, will report back on tuesday. but in the meantime look for the smoke signals from my bonfire.

I asked him to marry me, but apparently, someone beat the other 1.7 million of us to him.
whatever.
I. just loved the entire concept of connectivity being presented. This probably sounds silly, but it made me think of Tom Hanks. He is fascinated with space and space travel – an interest that seems to have diminished with time. I’m sure he loved Neil.
I am a long time blog follower of yours. I love visiting to get a dose of artistic art candy and to enjoy your travels from my place in Alaska. I thought I would share this link with you. I thought it might interest you and inspire you with your art journals. Check this beautiful art, changes with each color: http://www.carnovsky.com/RGB.htm
Love him, isn’t he fantabulous?!
Happy sand castle building!
please feed the marmots across from FogCatcher Inn for me 🙂
Nei Degrasse Tyson is a brilliant physicist who can make science so simple and understandable. I didn’t like the music in the video either but that is OK. TFS. I have watched him speak on the PBS Newshour, the Daily Show and on the Colbert Report. Definitely track his stuff down.
Aloha, Kate
You will enjoy watching Tyson — he has marvelous ideas (well aside from the Pluto thing) and speaks science to the populous no one since Carl Sagan has been able to do. He is a modern hero.
… the music kinda ruined it for me.
The beach looks very inviting! Mary Ann, I met a lovely artist lady today at the artisan market in Manchester (England). She reminded me of you, she had her lovely sketchbooks there for people to look through. I drooled! Have a look! http://www.christineevans.org.uk/cycling-diary.html
Neil de Grasse Tyson – WOW.
I love Neil deGrasse Tyson! Although, he took away Pluto…Can’t have everything I guess. Have fun at the beach!
I was just thinking (last very night) ‘I wonder what happened with MAM’s crocheting?’ You had gotten pretty nimble with it! Yay Joyce, and serendipity, and that stunning coastline you have there in California. Have a beautiful time 🙂
The universe is in us! Such a wonderful reminder of an amazing truth. Thank you and enjoy your time at the beach. xxx
