I can’t believe that it’s been 3 months since I last posted on this blog. I would like to assure all my readers (and most especially me!) that my absence is due to an incredibly hectic teaching, making and administrating schedule. Hopefully I can make up some lost time by posting a few entries over the next few weeks highlighting some of the interesting things that have been going on in my studio and at CCa.
But for the moment I wanted to share the Fall with you. We are in the midst of the first serious rain storm of the wet season here in Bayarea. It’s sweet to hear the rain coming down and to see the garden and the surrounding hills drink it all up.

The last of the light projecting the verandah view onto our bedroom wall –
gum trees, kero lamp and a pinch of Pittosporum
Now I do feel guilty. I haven’t posted a thing since the beginning of Augusts travel in Iceland and I don’t have your excuse. Thank you for the prod. See you in January.
Safe travels,
Diana
Hey Donald,
Thanks for resurfacing, I was afraid that perhaps you’d burnt out. I depend on you to bring me news from the larger world. Welcome back!
Michael. Thanks for the welcome.
Once the rains come down, and the work gets done, I have time for more contemplation and sharing.
Maybe this is the real meaning of the Holidays?
All the best,
Donald
I’ve been missing you Donno.
