It's our own Amazon Rain Forest debacle within our little pie shaped piece of the Bronx. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/06/woodlawn_project_wheres_the_be.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/06/woodlawn_project_wheres_the_be.html Woodlawn Project Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:06:17 -0500 MaryAnn Johanson and I were on the outskirts of Baltimore this Memorial Day weekend to attend Balticon 42. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/balticon_sales.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/balticon_sales.html Conventions and Shows Thu, 29 May 2008 14:22:52 -0500 When last we left our intrepid travellers, they were racing through the Louvre. Not fleeing murderous monks, or international spies, but Time's Winged Chariot, because the galleries were closing behind us like crazy. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/the_louvre_part_two.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/the_louvre_part_two.html Visiting Art Tue, 20 May 2008 16:35:52 -0500 Now, I know some cats like to lie in sinks, and some like to lie in a big bowl, but I've never known one to take to the tub as a favorite retreat. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/occasional_cat_blogging_zelda.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/occasional_cat_blogging_zelda.html Occasional Cat Blogging Fri, 09 May 2008 16:24:37 -0500 My grant for the trip was for a specific purpose -- to soak up the atmosphere and find the locales that were needed to finish my book and, unfortunately for the art lover in me, most of the action of the book does not take place in art museums. ... However, a good deal of the events take place by night and on Wednesday nights, the Louvre is open late. So, for atmosphere and information (as well as for the art lover), I did manage to shoehorn in a quick trip to the Musée du Louvre. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/the_worlds_most_famous_paintin.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/05/the_worlds_most_famous_paintin.html Visiting Art Wed, 07 May 2008 13:09:35 -0500 Photo A Paris or New York?

I'm still getting used to it, and familiarizing myself with its many useful settings (though I'm not always successful at using them usefully). One thing on the camera I absolutely love is the 5x zoom setting. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/04/paris_oh_my_camera_i_love_it_s.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/04/paris_oh_my_camera_i_love_it_s.html Paris Every Moment Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:13:19 -0500 E.Y. Harburg... was approached by a fan of the song. This man had saved for years to go to Paris in April because Yip Harburg's lyrics to Vernon Duke's melody were so evocative. http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/04/paris_when_it_drizzles.html http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2008/04/paris_when_it_drizzles.html Paris Every Moment Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:31:50 -0500
