The Landscaper

Welcome to 2009!!!!

WOW!!!
After Christmas and New Years came my Birthday and I had a wonderful time.
This year was spent in a low key manner. The early part of the day I enjoyed spending time at home with my animals, reading and watching movies.
Later about 4:00 Deb and I went to the Sushi Bar "Zake" on Shepherd.
It was amazing!

I think it is going to be a great year.

Hanging out with my Pug Pepper on a cold and wet day, taking care of some internet business.
Obviously she get's a little too comfy cozy.

Sunday Inspiration

This Sunday morning I read an article in the New York Times on an amazing and talented artist/architect.

Her name is Maya Lin.
An Asian American women who started out designing and building monuments.
The article left me wanting to find out more about Maya.

Maya developed a passion for both art and architecture and refused to decide to specialize in one or the other and by doing this she defied the rules.
Most people told her it would not work to her benefit and that she was making a grave mistake by not choosing Art /verses/ Architecture.

Now Maya spends equal amounts of time creating both, in fact, she has taken it a step further by implementing an environmentally conscience mind to the equation.

Maya Lin, an amazing woman, environmentalist & Art-chitect!

I hope she inspires you as well.
