Sea & Sea

It seems everyone is getting away for a little escape lately. Mark Sikes has been posting about his musings from Punta Cana, and this recent article in the NY Times had me thinking about photographs of the iconic Veruschka often with the sea as a backdrop. Above, my own tribute to the sea and the pleasures that come with its seduction. Whether it may be enjoying a paperback read, fresh summer fruit or a revitalizing swim, I find myself yearning for my own escape with the sea (and salt! and sand!).

Sky's the Limit

What a champ! Sky (pictured above), won "Best in Show" at the 138th Westminster Kennel Club Tuesday evening. Sky is a wire fox terrier, a breed that was developed in the British Isles in the 17th century to chase fox and small game. Although I tend to prefer a D-O-G, that is, a larger sized dog with some physical presence (i.e. a lab, retriever, etc.), I find Sky to be charming. I cringe every time I see a handsome lad in my neighborhood walking some measly little dog knowing his wife or girlfriend encouraged him to walk the thing. Definitely a turn-off.

Be sure to watch Sky in all his glory, here.
