Seth Apter's Playing Favorites

The moon rising over St Petersburg, FL.

I'm posting this a month late...but wanted to give you the link to a very 'worth the time to look at' blog. 

An art postcard I'd made a few years ago but never took a picture of. (My friend has it displayed after all this time). :) (Maybe she just takes it out when I visit). NO!

Seth Apter has been taking lots of his valuable time to promote artists through The Altered Page.

Two of my VERY dearest friends. BOTH recent cancer survivors. WOO HOO!!!

I was fortunate to be a part of The Pulse (not the book) last year which is where he posted about different artists and showed snippets of their work and words.

What's this fascination with manhole covers? Maybe it's because they're stolen from the streets in Barranquilla...so it's nice to walk about without having to watch for holes.

The segment that he's working on now is called Playing Favorites. I'm part of Chapter 8. I hope you'll take a look.

While in SW FL, we visited the newly re-furbished downtown Fort Myers...which they're trying to get folks to call Riverwalk. Us locals (past tense for me) have a hard time with that. It's been an ongoing project for years...and I must say the area is BEAUtiful.

Otherwise...I'm home! Still lots of unpacking to do but we're getting there. 

The old buildings and brick streets downtown Ft Myers Riverwalk are awesome. See! I getting better at calling it that!

It was pure BLISS to see my girls and I'm anticipating lots of time with them today. Hopefully mommy will let me post a picture of them...eventually. 

I have a feeling that art will happen soon.

The pictures are, of course, from our month in the States and have nothing to do with Seth's blog.

Downtown FM has become rather artsy and this picture is from one of the very wonderful shops.

We sat in the shade for a few to rest our tootsies.

The menu and napkin at Ford's Garage where we had WONDERFULLY presented and delicious food.

Henry Ford's winter home is down the river a bit and open for  tourists.

Ford's Garage Restaurant is making the most of  the gazillions of people that visit every day. Can you see the  stamp on the bun? (I had a DElicious salad). Hubby ate the burger.

Then we headed to our hotel - on Fort Myers Beach and totally enjoyed everything about it...except the room...but it was only two nights and we chose not to make a big deal out of it. But I wouldn't stay there again. PS- when I saw this picture it motivated me to 1. Wear a bra in public 2. Get in better shape 3. Art up that shirt that I found in a consignment shop sooner rather than later.

Time for tootsies in the water.

I thought I'd just take a picture...but was able to smuggle this shell home for Sophia's collection. Don't tell!!!

Sunrise walk...to get me in shape.

We had a lovely, fierce storm blow through. My favorite kind.

More delicious storminess.

Create Your Life,

Me...and my shadow.

annie!
