We&#8217;ve had a whirlwind visit but have managed to see so many dear friends. It&#8217;s been lovely to be back. I always expect it to take a little time for me to adjust to the pace and the changes of the city, but each time I return it feels almost as though I had never left. The city is changing rapidly, but not so rapidly that I don&#8217;t feel like I still belong. I love the pace of New York and feel so comfortable here. Plus, it&#8217;s nice to speak English again!<\/p>\n<p>Rather than Pinterest picks this week, I&#8217;ll leave you with images from the Heavenly Bodies exhibit at the Met. I&#8217;m still hoping to see the portion at the Met Breuer, but the main museum and the Cloisters were absolutely spectacular, especially the Cloisters! Apologies for the crummy images; it&#8217;s past time for me to upgrade my phone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66351 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01-760x1009.jpg\" alt=\"images from the Heavenly Bodies exhibit at the Met\" width=\"760\" height=\"1009\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01-760x1009.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01-500x664.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01-768x1020.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-01-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66352 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02-760x1017.jpg\" alt=\"images from the Heavenly Bodies exhibit at the Met\" width=\"760\" height=\"1017\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02-760x1017.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02-500x669.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02-768x1028.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-02-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-66353 size-large\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03-760x1515.jpg\" alt=\"images from the Heavenly Bodies exhibit at the Met\" width=\"760\" height=\"1515\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03-760x1515.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03-451x900.jpg 451w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03-768x1531.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/heavenly-bodies-03-1240x649.jpg 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weekend Reading (and Watching)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aren&#8217;t these photos of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/news\/2018\/07\/13\/hong-kong-ballet-new-season\/\">Hong Kong Ballet<\/a> amazing?<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/culture-exploration\/2018\/07\/falleras-tradition-parade-costume-spain-culture\/\">Falleras of Valencia<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Walking around the city I&#8217;ve been quite fascinated at the muted shades of color being worn. Lots of white, khaki, and lavender, sage, pink. Fashion reflects the world around us, and I&#8217;m certain that our political climate plays into that. We&#8217;re yearning for tranquility and peace in a time of upheaval.
