So glad you stopped by. Have you got time for me to show you a few photos of my trip to California? I was at a conference grounds called Asilomar in Pacific Grove CA. What a beautiful place. It was originally a YWCA camp designed in the early 1920's by a famous woman architect who also designed the Hearst castle. Her name escapes me for the moment. Lovely old redwood and stone buildings with big stone fireplaces, no TV no telephones in the room and it sits looking out to the ocean. My room was in a building called The Lodge. It even had it's own fireplace, a view of the ocean from the window and a little deck where I could sit and watch the ocean. At night we left the window open and let the sound of the waves lull us to sleep.
The first one to greet me as I made my way to my room (with no luggage! It didn't show up for another 24 hours!) was this sweet dear. I wonder if she's related to Daisy?
There were lots of little flowers popping amongst the sand dunes.
Here are a few examples of some of the work done in my class.
Here are both our teachers, Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran. You can see the roof of the building we are in which gives you a little idea of how beautiful it was. I sat right at that window and could see the ocean as I looked out. To tell the ruth I didn't look out very often as I was too intent on my work!
Hope you are having a good day. Stop by again. I'd love to hear from you, so leave a comment if you have time.
