......................

well we're back from a fabulous little triparoo to one of my fave cities: nyc. mesmerizing shapes captivated me most of all this time around. 

wow. 

what a linear lovers dream.

(& a weekend away with my darlin', seeing dear friends, cafe hopping, gallery wandering, park playing, & holdin' hands just strolling sure made it absolutely fantastic, too! ) 

there's bliss in those polygon shadows.

{ps: this is my 1st foray into the crazy world of instagram. no SLR? eek! okay - i'll admit it  = so fun! are you an instagram fan, nicies?}

dearests!

i've missed you so.

we're home from our beautfiul east coast getaway & i'm basking in the wonderfulness of renewal & restorative goodness.

so many fun highlights... among them:

* the sheer delight of playing on red sand beach after red sand beach all over pei!

* that brilliant salty ocean air.

* little rikrak's first big rock concert (u2 360 in crazy fun knee-deep mud! )

* wandering across a pod of 30+ seals, sunning themselves on an empty beach at sunset ... wow! 

* fabulous visits with dear friends. thank you, wonderfulones!

* hilarious roadtrip games in the car; & 

* the collection of handmade souvenir sketches little rikrak drew in the backseat all along the way!

gosh i feel lucky.
& gosh i love the ocean.

how about you? love the shoreline?

hope your time has been great since last we spoke cuties!

gearing up for lots more fun here on the blog. 

welcome back!

tell us what you've been up to!

see you wednesday!

photo essay: at the curling rink

 

   { all images by me: kristal davis / rikrak 2011 } 

...............

now i've never curled in my life, sweeties.

but this classic winter sport has recently become part of our weekly life: little rikrak's become an avid little curler! {now i'm biased - but he's just great at it!}

part shuffleboard, part crokinole (my fave!) 

i love the symmetry on the rink. the glide & curl & colour of it all.

ever curled? 

thanks for the wintry memories, curling!

see you in the fall!

how wintry light thrills me.

all those beauty blues + gorgeous greys gentle on the dappled white.

it was just such a perfect late afternoon at the toboggan hill.

add the setting sun, my cute boys, picnicing hot cocoa + i'm totally smitten.

happy long weekend, lovelies.

hope yours is filled with

 family fun, beautiful skies + wonderful wonderful light.
