We're so close to spring. There's a part of me that wants to pick up more duck eggs. Despite the unfortunate fate of our last batch, it really warms my heart to see those little guys hatch. If anyone in the tristate area has a farm or a big piece of land, and wants to adopt what will become some very handsome ducks toward the middle of summertime, let me know. They make wonderful companions. Here are some photos of the last batch, Anna and I brought them into university for show-and-tell.

Quack.

In other news, I am back on the ground. Travel makes me so tired that today I am pretending I am still in the air and ignoring all work I have to tend to until tomorrow. It was a good relaxing trip, though I was insanely sick from food poisoning the first few days. I spent most of my time in West Palm but I also adventured to a few places, including Delray. I grow to increasingly resent NY. Why would anyone chose the terrible cold and ugly highways over this?





To wake up and not be freezing. I don't know that I'd look to live there (South Florida) specifically but lord. It's hard to go from this...



...to this:

We all got new tattoos. Here's my moms new bracelet. I love her so much, I love her beautiful little hands.



My little baby 17-year-old sister got her first one too. She's so beautiful that it makes me cry; I can't believe she's almost a grownup.


She's gorgeous and would make such an amazing model. But I'd never want to subject her to any of it.

I added a little more to the arm. This is the year I'm gunna finish the sleeve.




And I found SnowWhite hidden on the back of a shelf at a flea market.



I couldn't resist.

Waikiki is editing the set we shot last summer, so it should go into MR soon. I'll keep you all posted, she's a wonderful woman, a wonderful photographer, a wonderful model.

Time now to relax and find the ground again. More later.
