Thee Venerable checks out the suzani

Everything has to pass his inspection


Some visitors know that I'm
A collector, and, well, a solitaire, (Alan Watts terminology)
among other things; ( inventor, conceptualist, artist, philosopher, and that I'm
Very interested in such things as libraries, and community, combined with arts. 

... a childrens picture book library
I moved so wasn't there to detail it out so it floundered and never became what was envisioned. 

But I'd still like to do it, and of course I have great ideas for central Asian art to be a part of that. 
But I'm only one part. Without a strong collaborator, someone interested in broad community ideas, I can do nothing really. I need another visionary to help me and to back it. 

So if it happens fine. If not. I'll do something else since I always have many irons in the fire. 

Meanwhile, I was measuring this suzani when The Puddha adopted it. Made in Uzbekistan, on the Silk Road. All silk hand embroidery. 


Oh yes, thinking about fall at Shuksan too. 
I'm going to try to get some Chain Lakes backpacking in
Before snow falls there. Last I hiked in I was rained out.

Here's my fuzzy friend ...

Hihihihi, "I'm just touching it", must be the caption.

Five photos of Mt Shuksan

The most photographed mountain in the world. 
Usually found on calendars...

It's sits below Mt Baker (in the northernmost Cascade mountain range in USA)


The lake is named Picture Lake

Plants around the mountain include
The purple huckleberry, corn lily (false helebore), fireweed, a 
native spirea, asters, daisies etc.


It's such a beautiful place on earth. 
And I can see it from my living room 
window on a clear day. 
It's a place where snowboarders come to ski

A favorite place.
