The Mews House

While staying in London last week, we stayed in a charming updated mews home 2 blocks away from Hyde Park.  All the kitchen woodwork was created from an ancient Elm tree on the owners country property. Our lane seemed to be a short cut to the Park, and there were always horses clopping on the cobblestones.

Back in Brooklyn

I'm in transit through NYC and spent the night in Brooklyn. Good to see the old place is still in one piece. Gloomy afternoon.  I did have to run into Century 21 this morning and got a look at the new downtown transport hub.  I like it.

The Rig

 On stage last week, we did a nice rig with moving lights on a semi- moveable I Beam truss. I watched in action on our actors from the DIT tent.

DP Family

Husband and wife DP couple Chris and Kristy brought the twins to set yesterday.  Tiger faced Kingston was enjoying himself on my shoulders and then decided to be a 3 year old.

Century City Sunset

We were working yesterday on top of a parking garage in Century City.  The sunset against the glass buildings was spectacular. I tried a few different filters on the iphone.

Lemons

The lemons are turning yellow.  The underside faster than the tops.

Butterflies

One of today's imponderables is why these yellow butterflies love the popcorn cassia so much even though there are no flowers.

Yellow Visitor

A very bright yellow birdie stop by last week. I have not seen him before.  Was wondering if he's on a migration to somewhere. I wish I'd had my better camera.
