At the Springs

Real time Rayen again. It's August 8th, and yesterday my guy and I went to Disney Springs to walk. I took my camera with me to take some pics along the way.

We go to places like this that have free parking and admission because they're an interesting alternative to walking around the neighborhood or the lakes. We get to people watch, too.

The LEGO sculptures never get old. I often wonder how long it took someone to build something like this out of those tiny blocks.

Near the House of Blues. There's a short story brewing already. Very often my stories start with an image, sometimes one I take myself.

It's difficult to avoid people at Disney Springs, but we went early and I was able to get some shots that I didn't have to star-face.

This slightly mangy bird followed me around the park; I saw him three or four times.

We walked the park about four times in three hours, stopping to have a treat at the French bakery and also a drink at the Coke building. It was a nice day.

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.
