The View from Doubletop Mountain - and my BlogHer Benefit Auction piece is open for bidding!

While we were in the States this summer Jay and I had the chance to sneak off to New Hampshire's White Mountains for a night, where an afternoon's hike to the summit yielded this gorgeous view. The highest peak off in the distance, with the top shrouded in clouds, is Mt. Washington, which has the dubious distinction of having the worst weather in the entire United States and some of the windiest weather in the world. It looks nice enough in this photo but the following day it was so socked in by weather that when Jay and I stood on the veranda of the Mount Washington Hotel (conveniently located right at the base of Mt. Washington) we couldn't even see the mountain!

And a very exciting side note, Together, my contribution to the Blogher Gulf of Mexico Benefit Auction, is now live for bidding on ebay. The resolution on ebay is awful, not at all like the gorgeous piece the bidder will actually receive, so I've gone ahead and posted a copy here as well (go ahead, scroll down, I'll wait) so you can get a better idea of what it actually looks like. 

The auction piece was specially printed on glass (wow!) by Fracture and everyone who saw it at the BlogHer Gala says it looks incredible. Click here to bid on it (remember, it's to benefit the Nature Conservancy and the Gulf of Mexico cleanup efforts, a really great cause!).

See, doesn't it look better here than on ebay? It would look even better hanging on your wall ;).
