Today is my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I pre-posted this (and tomorrow's post) because I am off helping them celebrate. This is a big deal - 50 years is a long time... not many couples make it.

Check out yesterday's post to see them as they were... a half century ago.

I was inspired to make these images by Johannah's Year in Blue Blog - specifically a photo she named "Storage Jar" - beautiful. I adore blue glass... Cobalt - yum.

Spanish Fish Spa!

I will post a hand image later today to fulfill my daily hand-obligation... This post is all about one of the most bizarre beauty treatments I have ever experienced.

FISH SPA!


Proprietor Of Fish Spa Tending To Free Sample Fish / photograph


Last month I paid 30 euros to have a hundred or so little Middle Eastern fish (Garra Rufa) nibble the dead skin on my feet at a "Fish Spa" in Spain. The price included about 45 minutes of nibble time, followed by a foot massage, and a mini-pedicure. I had to use a flash when photographing the experience which made the little fish scatter a bit but you get the idea.

I drive by these great hands a couple times a week. Each hand is six feet wide and 12 feet high. The artist. Donna Billick of Davis California, created the sculpture using terazzo mosaic tiles. I love that I live in a small college town that would commission an artist to create big giant mosaic hands.
