"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."

Hearts and Sunshine


September has brought we SF people - SUNSHINE!  (Mind you, not all day.....but at least seven or eight hours of the glorious golden *stuff'!)  So, for the past two days off from the Opera, I have been out walking and taking photos.  I had mentioned in a previous post about the Heart Sculptures which are scattered throughout the City....and here are a few.


This one was painted by Tony Bennett.  You didn't know he could do more than sing, right?



I also just had to hike through the Presidio to the Bay....and along the way,
I encountered:


 A beautiful Monarch Butterfly sunning himself on some Lavender....

Mr. Egret was kind enough to stand still and pose for me...



Now, as I write this on Friday Evening, the fog has returned with a vegenance and the wind is pummeling my flat.....brrrrrrrr.... 

Tomorrow, back to the Opera for yet another "Heart of a Soldier" rehearsal  only two more of them before it opens on September 10th.

I hope each and every one of you in the States has a gorgeous and safe Labour Day Holiday.  If you are abroad...have a wonderful weekend!

Love,

♥ Robin
