Getting things started

Well here I am, in the blogosphere for the first time. I'm not particularly tech-savvy outside of the normal range--phone, MacBook, iPod--but the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. I'm rather proud of my first achievement--the fish gadget at the bottom of the page!! Oh, I didn't make it or anything, but I did succeed in putting it on the page. That's pretty good for me! Now we'll just move on (I hope) to the harder and more exciting things.

I suppose I'd better start with some beautiful things. One of my favorite sites for beautiful clothes is The Sartorialist. Enjoy!

And here's one of my own beautiful things: I took this photo in Madrid, in the Jardín Buen Retiro (I really hope that's correct), next to where a gypsy woman told us, "there's something I want to tell you about your eyes...." and Spanish men were performing an Aztec-type dance. Oh the things you'll see!



I just love the way the drops of water sit on those thin, but somehow sturdy, leaves, so delicately colored. Well, I hope you think this is as beautiful as I do.
