A thing of beauty
February 14, 2010 by Irène Sharon Hodes
is a joy forever.

Dried flowers on a blue plate at my artist friend Diana's studio in Haifa.

passed this window on Dizengoff yesterday afternoon...two beautiful women, or what?

my sister's gorgeously demolished birthday cake resting on a sticky table beside a bottle of Finlandia and cans of Red Bull in a posh night club.

finally got a halfway decent martini in tel aviv - trick is, you really have to say - "very very dry, very very cold, gin martini with two olives in a martini glass, please."

one of my favorite images. it almost seems a dream i was ever there, communing with baby cows on a goan beach. but i was. and it was really that beautiful.

That bonsai really looks like a woman,awsome! And the picture of you with the cow on the beach-that is something!
Isn’t that tree something? Not quite a bonsai, though. I think it was a fragment from one of those trees on Dizengoff — really twisty, and the like. A rubber tree? A Baobab? Banyan? I really don’t know tropical trees.
I loved all these pictures Irene. Amazing cow. It’s my favorite animal:)
Happy Valentine cherie:)

That’s probably why I keep getting your new posts:)
Mom, do you remember Valentine’s Day when we lived in Paris? It’s one of my best memories. We sent carnations to other kids at school, and you gave me a little porcelain cow with a rose elegantly painted on it for my collection. I don’t ever remember it breaking, so Care may still have it in her collection.
Cows!
