VCCA post

I've been here for four days and I haven't posted -- but I've been having a great time and getting a lot done. Right now, I'm sitting around, post dinner, post ping pong, with Eduardo Corral and Deborah Ager.

I'm going to post some photos:

At 2:56 PM, Beverly said...: Hey! I haven't put anything on here in a long time, but that place looks so nice--and the opportunity to focus & fraternize also. Will think of you with (not toooo much) envy.
At 4:21 PM, Diane K. Martin said...: Anne, Beverly, it is really very lovely here.You should definitely come here, esp.. Beverly, if you plan on visiting your family. Not that it's next door, or not that I would know. But there's just the right amount of fraternity and being left alone. It's pretty small too.
At 4:52 PM, Radish King said...: Wow, these photos are terrific. They look like oil paintings.

At 7:32 AM, Diane K. Martin said...: Thanks, RK. It can't be a virtue of my skill (I live with a photographer and *don't* take pictures very often) or my "camera," which is my iPhone* -- so I guess it's just the light here.

Now we have freezing rain turning to snow -- yowza!

* Present from son.
At 9:57 PM, greg rappleye said...: Nice photos!

I have a friend from Virginia who has been there several times and swears by the place.
At 7:12 AM, Diane K. Martin said...: Greg, I love it. I'll post some pictures of VCCA in the snow later. Now I have to get down to business.
