it's the birthday boy! celebrating my dear's #42 was like biting into a big juicy plum, full of flavor! sumptuous. we went to the city of portland (maine that is). lot's of surprises, retina receptors in full tilt, taste buds blooming, bodies pulsating and swaying to drumbeats and mellifluous honey-filled sounds. carnival for the senses.

a little street photography...












and to top off the date, we settled into a perfect coffee and chocolate-induced coma...

I'm hosting a give-away for Jenny Doh's latest book, Art Saves. Just leave a comment HERE if you wish to enter to win. You have until Sunday, August 21st. at 9PM EST -- a random winner will be chosen at that time. I am being moved deeply and to tears by the heartfelt comments folks are leaving/gifting at the give-away post (please note that you are not required to share your personal story in your comment, but if you wish to, i believe it sends positive, inspiring, healing rhythms out into the world). Good luck and many thanks:)
