I've been reading Portrait of an Artist, Laurie Lisle's inspiring biography of Georgia O'Keeffe, who was born on this day in 1887.

So, wherever you are Georgia, up in that pink and turquoise Southwestern sky, I'd like to thank you for all the organic artistry you've inspired us with, and wish you a peaceful birthday. Here's hoping that you and Stieglitz are together, setting up the ultimate art gallery in the clouds.

I've been thinking about the desert a lot lately. This time of year, the boundary between the living and the dead is supposed to be at its thinnest, and maybe Georgia's spirit is hinting that it's time to take a trip. I like to think that, anyway.
