Silhouette

October 30, 2009

    Fasten your seatbelts: Art group Thursday night.  The leader of our meeting, having abstained from work on the theme, Silhouette, instead provides a seasonal picture – a pastel drawing of a rainspotted maple leaf drafted in gentle fall colors. We all ooh and ahh.
    Next: a photo of the oddest and most intriguing kapok-like clouds and silhouetted trees. Somehow [...]

Fooling around with another man’s knife indeed. What a post. Blue ribbon. Metal fire and earth elements. Good feng shui. Wise guy!

Real Simple

October 18, 2009

 
 
   Honey locust leaves all over the trail.  It’s real simple.
   A heron at the half-mile rapids. Rain again, prompting use of umbrella, a rare but necessary accessory for the fact. Just the facts, Ma’am. Ready for the sun to come out.
    This is my to-to list for the day because I really got to be [...]

Ron, Walk

October 11, 2009

 
 
   A rise in nuts. Tears from fears. Can the squirrels keep up? Can I get back on the horse? Woe is not me! Whoa, maybe.
   Ron reports he thinks there are more black walnuts on the ground this year than ever before. He says take care walking or running on the trail, not to turn an ankle. A non-walnut [...]

Faded Cloth

October 2, 2009

 
  Overcast day. What shall we have? Tall coffee and a smile. Pick of the litter: packet of on-the-go clean up cloth and a bit of bark in great shape. It’s October! Squirrel in the knot of tree nibbles on nut. Leaves a plenty. Heron roars like lion on Tully turn and swoops over the [...]

Muckety Mud Pack!

September 30, 2009

  
 
 Traffic report counts four thousand visitors! This calls for a mud pack, a celebration, and September 30 is National Mud Pack Day.

Notorius Super Big Bol, Wrapper

September 21, 2009

  We are nothing if not our associations. Constructs and connections, web of thoughts. A prime heron establishes itself on a prominent rock upstream of the overpass. Commanding attention, commanding a view. The rock upon which it stands is split-level and big enough to be a small island. Someone has left behind a candy wrapper, to [...]

DURO 6 Arias, Constitution Day 2009 and the Paper Czar

September 17, 2009

 
 
   We the editors of  The Heron Report present the preamble of the United States Constitution and some items donated by the Paper Czar.
   Our own day begins with a kind of preamble. We walk along the creek. We come to the studio and office and and convene with our in-house representatives, including the Paper Czar. We [...]

Deer Crossing

September 8, 2009

 
    Posted in invisible ink Labor Day! Today, post haste! Take your time, there’s no time to waste, no time like the present!
   Why is this black truck slowing along Tulpehocken road heading east, parallel to my walking west along the towpath at 7:12 a.m?  The Tulpehocken creek separates us. A natural event joins us: [...]

Grid Happy

September 5, 2009

   Working on design for the Girard avenue subway station in Philadelphia. Need:  foil, to make actual size panels and imagination.
   Departure from usual routine: walking at Blue Marsh, and largely along the trails made from rural roads through a process of maintenance atrophy. On one slope, the erosion of blacktop exposes slate layers.
   Deprived of [...]
