One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Second Life. Just go! Stop reading and go! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Garden%20of%20dreams/126/102/91 (direct SLurl). And please submit pictures to the SLTTD Flickr group! This is a most photographic place...if you're into photography in SL, you will surely love this place. The creators of this location did not leave out a single details...for lovers, friends and the photographer in all of us!

You've most lilkely seen or heard about the minimalist "sandbox" in the sky over the sim called China. If you haven't it's quite something. A giant canvas in the sky where aston Leisen has created a very beautiful scene. Mountains in the distance, light whispy clouds overhead and clusters of bamboo trees. Sometimes there is a hut, sometimes there are other objects. There's a calm peace to this location.

Andrew Wyeth was one of the first artists for me, in my memory, that actually put me in the painting. I was a little girl, probably 5 or 6 years old, and we had print of Christina's World above an old green chest where we kept candles and placemats. I remember getting the fancy placemats out of the chest of drawers, and wondering about Christina. How old was she? Was she sad? Did she live in that house, or want to live there? Did the grass tickle her arms as it blew in the breeze?

So I'm sure you maybe thought, "will this site ever be active again?" Maybe you've even taken it off your RSS feed list. While I cannot promise you quanity, I still hold true to my quality promise. Plus, it's much easier to find things in world now, than it was several years ago. What once was a good idea, to get quality landmarks to a handful of friends, still remains a good idea, I just keep looking for the ones that really strike me as worthy of sending to you!

My journey begins on a smelly fishing vessel, that is safe, yet I am quite relieved when we dock. As I depart the fishing boat, I'm happy to be smelling the fresh salt water air, and not the dead fish that made the voyage with me! I have finally arrived at Pathfinder Islands!

Patron, by it's very nature is a place you'll want to explore. Not only are the art displays, architechture and surrounding gardens beautiful, but they are also a place to find solitude and contemplate. Along the way you'll surely find many of the treasures that, creator, Eliza Wierwight spends her time there building.

You may be familiar with Scottius Polke's work in-world. Up to this point, most of his work has included scripted three dimensional works. His imagination always explodes in prim form and the viewer usually can sense this otter has a very vivid imagination.

Sunday mornings. I've written about these times before. SL is a lovely retreat of solitude and quiet on a Sunday morning, especially when it's too cold to be outside, and too early to be out and about!

During the month of October, I receive many requests to come see the plethora of haunted sims that come to life in Second Life. In addition there are many hunts that help us find spooky places and items to decorate our own homes and sims to prepare for the tricks and treats of the season, however there is usually one place each year that sticks out as a favorite.

Charlotte Bartlett has just opened her new exhibit "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (SLurl) at the sim Poetik velvets (video). Nur Moo has graciously provided the space, as she did with Hotel Dare, in order to keep experiential art installations in Second Life alive and well looked after! This installation is just that, experiential, however more than experiencing it, you're also reminded or learning about the 30 articles of the The Universal Declaration of Human Rights a 60 year old UN document which urged all Member Countries to publicize and disseminate the text.
