"Lotus Pond With Ducks”

Mid-August weather:
Hot, stormy, and colorful...
The clouds, magical!

© 2022 Pamela MacCarthy

Yesterday I revisited the Kyodo no Mori pool with my friend Kei.
Tropical storm 'Meari' is approaching, so the weather and clouds were interesting...

After swimming, the lotus ponds.
They have stayed beautiful throughout the season,
and are still blooming...

I had a dream last night,
vexxing, but thorough.

I woke up with "Aspen" in my mind,
although I've never been there, or know much about it.

Part of my whole "intuitive" process,
is to follow the influences...

More inspiration also came from my playlist for August!

"Pamela MacCarthy

at
Club Kei”

(Thurs. August 4th, 2022)

Photo: Azusa

My gig at Club Kei on Thursday went very well,
despite the deluge of rain, that night.

Aoki was in top form, on piano.
It was also nice to meet and work with Yumiko Ishikawa, on vocals-
We shared the bandstand that night...

Friends and fans new and older, were there.
I offer thanks to all, for coming out to support me in such weather!

Thanks to Azusa for her photograph!

Stay tuned for next live dates!
