Hey guys and gals. Everything is awesome because I'm just getting back from vacation. I have a dirty little secret to confess. I went to Legoland. I have another dirty little secret to confess. I don't like Legos! Well, rather, I didn't like Legos until today. Legos in my book were hard plastic blocks that didn't create much joy. One could say, I never saw the sculpture in the marble. Legos were always a bit of a mystery to me. They just didn't seem interesting.

Today, changed how I look at Legos and the awe that can be created from the simple, plastic blocks. Just look at these cityscapes and sculptures.

Amazing right? Today's project is to create something out of Legos. It doesn't need to be a city scape or take one thousand man hours. Just have fun and try to see the sculpture in the marble. What will you make?

I'm going to get back to looking at photos of these amazing creations and trying my hand at making something awesome out of Legos. Drop me a line and let me know what you create and remember everything is awesome, especially Legos!

Day 66 - Hey ya! It's Sunday and Sunday means fun day. It's been raining for a couple of days here. We have been locked inside and with only a break in the clouds this morning. After breakfast, I said "Let's go get into some trouble." Which in my book means, let's go do something we wouldn't normally do and then go get a donut.

After some online research and lots of complaining from my companions, we decided to bounce right on over to our local botanical gardens. It just so happens we live by the UC Berkeley Botanic Garden which has a pretty amazing history. It has been around since 1890 and man alive some amazing plants. All of us, including the 2 little critters, were so happy to be outside and see many different sites, sounds and smells. Nature is weird and beautiful. It was a great adventure and it was right in our backyard.

Today's project is to go take an adventure or a walk to a local garden. Take your camera and start photographing. Take different angles. Look at the colors in the vegetation. Listen to the leaves rustle. Report back. Did something blow you away?
