home again

so far i can't complain about my winter.  i spent a week in costa rica and just last night i returned from a week in the bahamas.  cheap flights and last minute deals are tempting this time of year.  i went to visit a friend.  in fact, i surprised her!  

 

i was on the island of eleuthera most of the time and spent one day on harbour island. 

eye candy, everywhere.  why is it that only where the sun shines do people feel it is acceptable to paint their homes such beautiful colours?  why do we insist on using such drab colours to match our drab weather?  and dare we use the purples, greens and pinks, we are immediately labelled tacky.

 

is it because we have this?

and they have this?

Eye candy is the perfect term! Fills me with sweet thoughts every time I see such pretty pictures.

Hope you had fun!

You lucky girl! I'm a little envious of your travel schedule! Such great pictures. I'm meditating on that last photo! They are predicting rain, ice, and snow here. *sigh*

because we pay for the beauty with sweltering heat in the summer? :)

sounds like great trips

I love your place, welcome home!! I am always torn between the art, color, and texture that I love, and the need for the calm, monotone space my mind needs.
