phoen*x rising

Quick weekend get-away trip with my boyfriend ;-)

Destination: Phoenix

Lovely mosaics as public art pieces

 Lovingly restored Victorians in Heritage Park

 Surprisingly beautiful color palettes

 Hand forged details not to be missed, and yet sorely missing in today's craftsmanship of mass market-ism

 Quiet modern hotel-provided retreat spaces 

 a sensational view from our top floor room

how my mind recalls it, in its bokeh bliss

dinner with local AZ IT friends....so lucky!

diamondbacks game (they won!) 

and the root of it all - the conference peeps...who make me giggle
