Visited Dia Art Foundation in Beacon NY, with 8 of my favorite lady friends, on a crisp January afternoon.

I had a nice weekend away in Vermont, photographing a wedding and visiting my dear friend Abigail. The wedding took place on a private property with the most beautiful cut flower garden I have ever seen.

Abigail’s chicken Sophie, named after the artist Sophie Calle, comes when you call her name.

everything tasted so good, so we joined their wine club…

their healthy mossy reservoir reminded me of Claude Monet

…silly me, I packed my bathing suit, I should have packed my winter hat.  It was freezing!

perfect weather for some Spud Point crab chowda!

Oooh I just love a good used bookstore. I can spend hours getting lost in one. We found pretty much one of the best ones I have ever been to, in Santa Rosa, California. Treehorn Books had just the right combination of fine literature  and  many obscure books on wine and other delicious hedonistic California activities.

…and I met this lovely lady

pretty miniature paper dollhouses hung in the windows too

Jes and I had a nice relaxing final two days in India shopping up a storm and watching old Bollywood films in my “Lost in Translation” hotel room.

someone handed me a rose

I met these lovely ladies at the market in Vrindavan, India.  They make garlands all day for the deities at the temples. As sweet as their flowers, they smiled for my camera while they worked. I guess it is a good business since there are 5,000 temples in Vrindavan!

Until today I have been very conservative about my purchases…. the Jes found a little store that perfectly matches my taste. There were so many affordable pretty printed silk and cotton dresses. It was fun to trying them all on.  If only I could check eight bags!

Don’t worry I didn’t buy these ridiculous pants!

Jes and her personal tailor!
