The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

The things I missed - Bugambilias

It is good to be back..... I'm happy to see this plant.  I missed it.  It started out as the worst pruning job I'd ever seen and look at it now.  I've watched the gardeners here and they are masters at shaping plants.  I feel so lucky to have learned a few of their techniques.  In the front it forms this wonderful canopy that hides the house from the street.
And the back is a nice globe shape.  Front and back, all the same plant!

Such funny spekking!

it's a bougainvillea, and the thorns really hurt when you step on them...

Glad to hear you are back where your heart is!

Yes, Laurie, same plant. The thorns are tough. And Bev, there's a window-like opening in the wall that the plant completely hides.
