Life has been busy lately, so I'm rejoicing in a slow weekend. Long jog, big brunch, lazy reading.

It's so infrequent that I get to enjoy the early afternoon sunlight in my home. There's really not much better. I love this pretty, bright Brooklyn studio/apartment (via Miss Moss).

Buildings by Ana Serrano.

Pretty photos of Morocco by Vic. I'd like to hop on a plane as soon as possible, please.

Oh, Mara Hoffman. You're killing me. (via Honestly... WTF.)

I snagged a Wiksten tank top + dress sewing pattern this morning; I guess that means it's time to drag out my machine and get to practicing.

Things I'd like to buy & read: Kinfolk, Interwoven, Baker's Notes.

These photos by Johann Darcel (via Miss Moss) are making me painfully aware of the relative absence of water in my 2011-summertime-fun.

And the ones of Bastrop post-wildfire (from TPWD) are just breaking my heart.

 

Vacation on Isla Mujeres was exactly what I needed. We ate well, we drank cold beer, we fished and swam with whale sharks and visited a turtle farm. We explored every inch of the little island and fell in love with it.

Yesterday we painted Bradley's studio, and then I packed for family vacation. Until about 7 PM last night, we thought we would be spending the next week on a sailboat in the Bahamas, but circumstances changed - so it looks like I'll be in Mexico until Saturday. When life gives you lemons...

A handful of silly portraits of a boyfriend and friends who are boys. I still have a lot of scanning to do of negatives from the past year... Hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to get started up again!

Ethereal symmetry from the Rodarte for Opening Ceremony Lookbook.

Diptychs of Pakistan, during the flood and one year later. From Newsweek.

Autochrome images of pretty American ladies, taken in the 20s and 30s. From National Geographic, via here.

Nothing spectacular; just a few snapshots from trips I took and of things I saw this spring.
