So here are some pics of my very first tattoo from Jill Bonny, aka Horiyuki, from State of Grace in San Jose. Coloring still has to be completed within the leaves and remaining petals, but words can't describe how thrilled I am on how the unfinshed work turned out.

Its significance? There's sooo many reasons why, but to put it simply, it reminds me of love.

In just a few short weeks the brilliant fall colors are no longer in evidence at Minnewaska State Park. Nonetheless the Park is still full of natural beauty. This mid-November weekend was warm and the Lake was glassy still.
