Okay, these are not my ceramic pots, but thought they were worthy of photographing. I was at the Denver Botanic Gardens about 1 month ago and took several photographs. It was early spring and not much was blooming and the water gardens were devoid of plants too. These pots are in a shallow pool. I’ll have to check back later in the season to see what will be growing in these pots.
If you ever have the chance to visit Denver, CO, I would highly recommend visiting the Botanical Gardens. It is divided into several zones and features a Japanese garden, children’s area, a Monet garden, tropical zone (which is in the largest humidified conservatory I have ever seen) and also has a great Rocky Mountain garden area to teach Colorado gardeners what grows in our semi-arid city.
I was at the local park about 2 weeks ago with my dog. I come to this park nearly everyday, but was surprised to look up and see this heart shape in a tree I pass by frequently. I moved my orientation and the heart is only visible from certain areas, otherwise, it just looks like a tree that has an odd deformity on one of the trunks.
I came back later in the day with my camera and decided to document my find and share it with you!
All you Etsy readers will appreciate the sentiment.
I’m leaving today on a vacation to PA to visit my Mom. Hi Mom! I’ve uploaded photos to my Flickr account and hope to blog a little bit while I’m out east. Expect to see more ceramic work and also a few shots of Denver, CO. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
This is my second year in a row that I have been a member of Denver Fit, a marathon and 1/2 marathon training group. We meet every Saturday morning for group runs, then run on our own during the week. I’m training for a 1/2. I don’t know if I even want to try to run 26.2 miles ever.
Denver Fit is part of a nation wide training program called USA Fit. It is really a great program and one that I highly recommend if you are thinking about tackling a 1/2 or full marathon, want to get in shape or enjoy physical torture in general. I get just the right amount of information, coaching and camaraderie to get me through these runs. We are scheduled for 5 miles today. I’m sorely lacking in motivation this morning, maybe it is the pizza I ate around 8 last night and the 1/2 bottle of cab that I drank or maybe I just need to finish my coffee.
Here is a 4″ tall round celadon glazed vase that came out of the kiln a few weeks ago. The Denver Art Market is on the 10th and 11th and I am getting my inventory ready, photographing my work and pricing (which I find to be the most difficult chore).
I can’t seem to get that Alice Cooper song out of my head right now! My daughter’s school managed to drag out this last week because the kids really had no reason to be there. Clean up, parties, pinics etc. Actually it was all fun, but yay, we’re free for the next 3 months!
Several people have suggested that I teach some children’s ceramics classes. So, guess what? I’m going to experiment with my daughter and her friends. They’re going into 3rd grade, so I think now would be the perfect age to get their hands muddy!
Children are also so creative. They’re not bothered by what something SHOULD look like or what color something SHOULD be.
This bowl just came out of the kiln about a week and a half ago. It measures 8″ in diameter and 5″ high.
