The San Diego Watercolor Society has just published its first Quarterly. It is interesting, serious, informative, funny, and just plain fabulous! Check it out! Reading it, I was reminded of Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY's description of the artist date: "Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play. Since art is about the play of ideas, they feed our creative work by replenishing our inner well of images and inspiration."

Outriggers in Kona, Hawaii

Hawaii in January is lovely, I just got back. Kona is a lively port town in Hawaii, easy to explore on foot. Kona is famous for its coffee. There are whales and dolphins here! We visited turtle beach, where many sea turtles are lazying in the sun, on the volcanic rocks, and slowly get in the water when they feel like it, swim a bit, stick a neck out, swim some more. They are huge! The size of a car tire!

We had a lot of "le'a le'a"!! That means a lot of fun, in Hawaiian.
