"Booklet Cover"
For My New CD
Pamela MacCarthy "FLOWER" With Tomoya Hara




The booklets were delivered,
after 2 very long sessions working with Yamada-san;
my very efficient assistant at Kinko's.

My design and text is now in print.

These booklets will be part of my CD package.

The cover is a "detail" of my 2003 painting, "The Lotus Pond".

This booklet includes info about my song choices, liner notes,
thanks, and Japanese translations; my son Michio did.



Congratulations to my son, Michio;
he started his new job, today...










Till Next Time...

Sunflowers, in Ricefield, at Dusk

Tall Girl, Taller Sunflowers




Yesterday, I took the opportunity to ride my bicycle around at dusk,
in the pre-typhoon gloomy skies, and extreme humidity,
to photograph the Sunflowers...

I like the contrast the lack of light creates,
to the flowers the color of the sun...
