Hi. I haven’t written in a bit or painted for that matter. Not that I didn’t want to, but we had a fire in our house and it has put a major damper (no pun intended) on my productivity. The good news is, no one was hurt, and in the grand scheme of things that is what’s important. We have only lost a few things and of course some time. We had to evacuate and I now have a place set up where I can paint again.

The drama of that evening is gone, and the initial shock has faded, but not the memory of the fire fighters and volunteers who showed up to put out the fire. They are the ones you know are there, but don’t really come to the forefront of your mind until you need them. Thanks to all the members of the Lake Norman, Mooresville, Mount Mourne, and Statesville fire and rescue teams that dropped whatever they were doing, left their family and friends to risk their own well being for a stranger in need. That’s amazing. Thanks.

There are only a handful of things more enjoyable in life than spending time with someone special. Here a couple enjoying each other and the sun on the park bench.

I hope you enjoy it!

Location: London, England - River Thames - Waterloo Bridge

As you may have guessed we did quite a bit of walking around on our trip. It is pure pleasure when we stumble upon something that takes us by surprise. I suppose anywhere you live, your surroundings become commonplace and things are often overlooked or taken for granted. For my eyes, almost everything was new, fresh and interesting.

On our way to the Tate Modern we walked along the Thames and under several Bridges. Under the Waterloo Bridge there was a makeshift open air used bookstore of sorts. As you can see the brisk weather did not stop them from setting up or people from browsing. I loved this little spot - the way the light was coming in under the bridge, showing off the page ends of each book and peoples faces. The area seemed to be teaming with creative sorts. Adjacent was a little coffe shop/cafe called the Film Cafe’ and nearby was the National Film Theater which always had something going on.
