Juxtaposition

I'm not sure if it's possible to post more than one photo at a time from the blackberry, so you'll just get short bursts from me...

This is what I see out my hotel window -- I love the idea of combing textiles and kickboxing!

Currently hanging out on a park bench in the commons, reading, watching birds, thinking that it's been a long time since I sat in a park...

Ha...two of my favorite things, actually! Cool.

Love the picture! And talk about juxtaposition (which is one of the coolest words ever!): That curvaceous building neighbored by the rigid, straight textile/boxing building. Good eyes, Julie!
