This afternoon, my coworker, Brian, and I took a walk down to look at the renovations in the King Street Station. It’d been under construction as long as we both could remember being here and to see it unveiled in all it’s beauty was simply thrilling. So much thoughtful detail everywhere! Unexpected mosaic tiling, round windows and clocks in line with the molded rosettes, shiny brass doors, and the infinite notions in the vaulted ceiling delighted my curiosity to no end.

I love living in a city where buildings are cherished like this.

This is my friend, Jana, who does beautiful encaustic paintings, which are made with beeswax. When she works with her hands, she makes lovely things, be it culinary delights (I’m hoping for a repeat of that Gin & Tonic cake!), works of art, or simple gifts of friendship.

So it’s National Film Day. I’ve been exploring film over the last year and half. I still have lots to learn and most of it has been experimental, but these are a few of my favorite images.
