peeps of August

Quick peep into the lovely interior of Black & Smith Country General, Jerseyville, Ontario. They had an exhibit of the work of Niki Kingsmill and I loved seeing her work in this beautiful shop space, especially the line drawings of women. Definitely pop in if you're in the area.

As you know, I love photography. These images from this acrobatic tightroping club in Dagestan completely captured me this morning. Where the heck is Dagestan? Yea, I had no idea either when I first read it this morning.  Check out the Nat Geo article and marvel at this beautiful country and the youth who have a fearless hope for the future.

“The ragamuffin who sees his life as a voyage of discovery and runs the risk of failure has a better feel for faithfulness than the timid man who hides behind the law and never finds out who he is at all.”
