Earth Day 2009

The mosaic is not my favorite, but it does feature several of my favorite places. I stopped by some front yard gardens in Central Park, then I hit the Red Cup…..one of my favorite local restaurant’s, then I went by CYO’s community Garden’s…I love the red dirt.

All in all we are very blessed to have so many great people and places that love the Earth and do what they can to enrich our community.

One of my contacts on Flickr is a photographer here in town. I love her work. I most enjoy her use of color. She was recently featured in Apartment Therapy. I was really inspired….her apartment really reflects her great use of color. Check out Beth Jansen’s Photostream HERE.

The Tower Theatre, built in 1937, originally was a 1500 seat, ornate auditorium had a complete working stage, pipe organ, and billowing, scarlet waterfall stage curtains. It was also one of the first suburban theaters in Oklahoma City and one of the largest suburban theaters in the region. In the early sixties the theatre was given a deluxe renovation—70mm, rocking chair seats, very plush and very comfortable. Roadshow attractions were the staple with “Sound of Music” running at the Tower on a reserved seat basis for almost two years. “The Sand Pebbles” and “Cleopatra” also played at the Tower during those roadshow- reserved seat days.

The blog documenting my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE corner of America, Las Vegas, New Mexico, is back and better than ever. I am thrilled that Birdie is on Twitter and therefore, I found she has “come home” to her original blog…..or at least the one where I first discovered her.

I cannot tell you how excited I was a couple of years ago when I discovered this blog. In fact, it is one of the first blogs that I followed regularly (now I am up to at least 50). Birdie is very well written, a professional writer, in fact. And, she loves New Mexico, specifically the Las Vegas area. For those of you who do not know, this is the town where my home away from home sits out side. It is like going on an exotic vacation every time I visit. The town, the people, the culture, the green chilies are BEAUTIFUL. Birdie is also a great photographer. I love how she documents with words and photos the everyday. That is what I miss the most. Last night when I was reading her blog I learned that the Ladybug Migration occurs in the Spring, not just the Fall. I have made special effort to be up there in the Fall, but who knew. It is absolutly amazing.

I could go on and on, but I have to do some laundry or I am going to get fired from my SAHM gig. If you get a chance, check out mytinyvegas.com and drop Birdie a note of what you think. Don’t worry, I am sure she is already aware that I stalk her.
