I'm having a bit of a hectic weekend but there's something about these images by German illustrator and photographer Jeanette Woitzik that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Aren't they simply adorable!

My 100th Post (Sort Of)
Just a quick post today for this is certainly more sandcastle and beer than blogging and blathering weather. I’m not the biggest sun lover but I still don’t think I should be wasting our all too brief summer hiding behind my pc screen. Anyway, the only reason I’m posting at all is because I just realised that my last one was my 100th! A landmark indeed. I know some people mark the occasion by listing a hundred things about themselves or some sort of carry on like that but, as I said, there’s beer to be drank. So instead I’m just going to introduce you to a special little guy in my life. No, not my fiance- if he ever found out I posted a picture of him he’d be mortified. This wee fella is Charlie. I’ve actually got much nicer pics of him I could’ve used but I thought this one was the most appropriate (as I type he’s up running along that very beach).
Well, I hope where ever you are and whatever the weather you are all having a lovely day!

The Mechanics Of Whimsy
Some utterly fantastic sculptures and dioramas from LA artist Elizabeth McGrath. "Inspired by the relationship between the natural world and the detritus of consumer culture, she brings forth a new cavalcade of creatures from the darker corners of the streets, the city, the imagination. It is this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and suffering specimens of nature that make up her intricate body of work." Don't ya just love artists' bios? Her's even goes by the title of 'The Mechanics Of Whimsy : The art of Elizabeth McGrath '. Brilliant.
