Hi everyone!

I'm back to tell you that I am now blogging from :

http://thedreamingpress.typepad.com/

I changed my old address...because I hope to 'smudge' out the old energy. Like life, this space needs periodic cleansing. A good old fashioned thunderstorm. So bear with me. Thanks for supporting Indigo Blue, sweet indigo life, and now the dreaming press.

With love,

me. xox

Hey guys...I've moved. No longer here at blogspot, at least not for now.

I may be back someday but for now, I'm blogging over at Typepad.

Thanks a million, care to join me over there?

The Dominican Republic; A country perspective

The wind, an illusory yet existential necessity to assist us with our breathing. Which by the way, rapidly slows to accomodate the physical need for relaxation.

Beauty reflecting upon itself. Transitory in nature, yet perfectly now. External beauty is fleeting; our appreciation of it, steadfast. Intrinsic beauty; eternal.

Simplicity. Our illusory and existential friend helps us out yet again, drying the laundry on the line with the same enthusiasm it has for kissing us on the forehead some tropical hammock-swaying night.

Ah, the many uses of tobacco. This flower it would seem, an avis rara amongst the Charters & Bali Shags.

For the aficianado (yes, you), a depth-of-field capture I am particularly proud of, chocolate. In one of it's most sophomoric states of course, post-roast & grind. A bittersweet bride awaiting her final destination of marriage to both sugar & milk. It was during this particular safari, that our group learned of the ways of growing pineapples, mangoes and coffee beans. Of chocolate beginnings and cinnamon endings. Of crocodiles, crabs and constructs. A most interesting and colourful trip to say the very least. The above photo, is featured as one of many, in an article titled Enjoying thy chocolates...on NowPublic.com, click through for an interesting news article on one of our favourite articles, chocolate. Written by the people, for the people.

A glass bottomed boat. No, I didn't venture onto it. Just snapped from a distance. I loved the roof.

Last, but certainly not least (in this series anyways) I present to you, myself. This is what a vacation can do for the soul....

...be it in the Dominican Republic or just your local public library with a hot cup of chai and a good book. I will post again soon, I have many more wonderful views to share with you all.

With my creativity bursting at the seams...

...and jet lag nipping at my heels, I give you a small sampling of my trip.

Should you wish to see more, click on my flickr badge, it will take you to a few new additions when you search under the set name "Ebb & flow, my Caribbean pulse".

I couldn't wait until after Hawaii to blog. My next post will be some more photos right here, as soon as I catch a nap and a meal.

Buenos noches, xo

Ola, once again :)

Our plane, delayed.
We now leave at ten for the airport.
We fly, at 2:10 am.
D & K, if you are reading this, know your son is now going to arrive at 7 am Tuesday, instead of tonight at midnight.

So, another pina colada, por favor senorita.
And dos cerveza, por favor.
Because it is a long wait with TWO TIRED CHILDREN, when your plane is delayed~!~

Hang in there Sylvia, mommy will be home soon.

On the bright side, we had another entire day here in paradiso.

Senor, yo queiro vino dinto...PUH-LEASE!!!!

With love from the Dominican Republic,
