"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Leaving On a Jet Plane....



Tomorrow, I'm leaving on a REALLY early flight to New York!  I am excited to return to a city I once called my *part-time* home. It has been four years since I was there.....time to have some new adventures and make some new memories!

I will be *in incommunicado* - as I am the *last person in the world* who doesn't own a laptop or an I-phone....  but, I do have my camera, so I will be taking photos of *My* New York!  I return  next Sunday.

Here are some photos I took on my walk around the Palace of Fine Arts yesterday....it was 72 degrees....just glorious!



Look closely, the Seagulls decided to *hang out* on top of the Palace Muses!

Der Schwan!  Der Schwan!  

Isn't he beautiful!

And....baby Ducklings!!!!  Ah, Spring!

I hope you all have a fantastic week.... I will miss you - each one!  I'll say *hello* to the Big Apple for you and will be back on the Blogs next week!

Ciao, Bellas!

♥ Robin ♥

    1. Snow!!!! I have missed you too... the past few weeks have been a bit intense for me between planning this trip and beginning to prepare my team for the Summer Opera Season. (Yes, it's ALMOST that time where I start boring you all with my backstage reports!) Anyway, the time has flown....and tomorrow morning - I will! A-ha-ha! Back in a week and we'll catch up then. BE GOOD TO YOU, m' dear!!! Love to you, Peggy, Blue and....the Adorable Brewsky!

  6. I see that I did miss at least one post. I haven't been visiting anyone's blog all that much, and I'm actually hitting yours more than most. I'm assuming that we will always be friends, and I'm devoted to that, so if I don't get by for a while, never take it personally because I can't imagine that it would be meant personally, but if I did have a problem, I would surely tell you. My worst fear about you and me is the same one that hurt my friendship with Nollyposh. Like her, you tend to hold views that are in conflict with my own, and I don't know that I handle our differences in ways that work for you. It's hard to not address them, but I often don't have any great ideas about how to best do, and I fear alienating you as I did her. As she got weaker, I really tried to stay away from any hint of conflict, but by then she apparently felt a need to surround herself with those who could reinforce her beliefs, and of course, I couldn't do that. I'll always feel that there was unfinished business between us, but I did love her, and I love you too. I think you're a genuinely good person.
