I recently saw a great Antonio López García exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Antonio López García is a Spanish painter and sculptor. His work is very detailed, a little spooky and a lot amazing. Here are some pictures of the giant baby heads that he created, installed outside the front entrance of the Museum and here is a link to video about him and his work. Seeing the paintings in person gave me a different view of him than the video. He is meticulous but he’s also very free and loose in areas of his paintings. Something you can really only see up close.

I needed a hat and a pair of kicks. I hadn’t brought either with us on our trip to San Diego and we were headed to the desert for a day of hiking. Marshalls saves the day! I found just what I needed, a hip pair of Pumas and this madras “old style” cap. I figured I looked pretty spiffy in the hat and not only wore it to the desert but all the rest of our trip. (and right now)

Happened upon some really great looking cookies in the window of Girard Gourmet while walking around La Jolla Village. Among the many great forms these cookies take are dogs, seahorses, seals, frogs, sailboats, fish, birds, owls, and commemorative La Jolla plaques. Couldn’t resist purchasing an owl cookie, and found a pretty good lemon butter cookie under all the ornamentation.

Not quite the height of authenticity, nevertheless, this “Indian Village” had much to offer:
