Self just got back from a trip to Ireland and England.
The last week of May, she met up with Amy Toland of Miami University Press and took her to her favorite London restaurant, Chez Nous, 22 Hanway Street. Self has been coming here since 2014, Julie is an amazing cook!

It’s been a while since self participated in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. This week’s is FEET AND LEGS!
Here are some pictures from self’s current trip that relate to the theme:
Socks from the V & A Gift Shop: Saw the Mary Quant Exhibit
Cork, Ireland, May 2019: Her ballerina flats have gotten very tattered on this trip, she may have to discard!
Paradiso, Cork, May 2019: She bought the Converse sneakers in London within days of her arrival. They have taken quite a beating since this picture was taken: scuffed and smudged everywhere.
Trips really do a number on her shoes.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

It’s been a few weeks, at least, since self was able to join Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.
Today, self is in London. She walked around her Bloomsbury neighborhood and took pictures, all with an eye to the current Fun Foto Challenge, SIGNS. Here are a few:
Right outside the British Museum, which self visited yesterday.
Directly across the street from the British Museum: This bubble tea place is always full.

For this week’s Fun Foto Challenge, PATTERNS, self is posting pictures from Lovejoy’s, an English-style tearoom tucked away in downtown Redwood City, CA, only a block from the library; and a picture of a plant with bright orange flowers that just began sprouting in her backyard. This winter saw heavy rain, hopefully in a month or so there will be tons of flowers blooming.

Self missed last week’s Fun Foto Challenge. But this week, the Challenge is SMOOTH.
Here are: a sidewalk near Fleet Street, London (smooth sidewalk); a canal in Cambridge (smooth, tranquil boat ride); and sweet potato fries and an assortment of (smooth) dips!

You have to look hard in a few of these, but they definitely all DO have Orange and Pink.
Thanks again to Cee Neuner for the Fun Foto Challenge!

Can you tell how much self loves Philip Pullman? She read all the books on this table in the first few months of 2018. She knew that when she got to Oxford, she would look for as many Philip Pullman-related sites as she could.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Cee Neuner’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is BLACK AND WHITE.
Self did an earlier post for this challenge, but today she was cleaning closets. And she pulled out these two lovely objects, which are feather dusters. And she thought huh and what if — ?
So she brought the feather dusters to the light and started taking pictures.
Voila! Black and White 2! Even though the feathers are more Black and Grey!

Since she is preparing to teach a class at the Mendocino Art Center called One Story, Six Ways, she might ask her students to look at this set of photos for one of the exercises.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
