Sweetish Fish

September 19, 2009

   Swedish fish are one thing and Sweet-ish fish are something else. We create the sweet-ish ones in the studio this morning.
   Sounding like a politician today: a heron at every turn: one wades in the dawn’s early light and at the edge of the creek, near the footbridge on the picnic peninsula.
   One looks [...]

French Creek: Halcyon Day

September 2, 2009

     Find sneakers in #4 locker at Y where they were left for overnight sleepover. Optimize late afternoon by walking around the lake at French Creek state park. A halcyon day. Sapphire sky, golden sunshine, days that live forever. Days that never return.
   One of charming features of the park is a small number of  [...]

Designer Nerds

Neurons happy: Heron on a dead bough: grandaddy of them all, fishing, waiting. View from the road.
Squirrel pops out of a barrel when I make a deposit of litter.
Sunlit scenery. Walk two miles to the eight marker and back, and find a piece of sycamore near [...]

Preserve and Protect

August 12, 2009

  
 
True date synchronicity: Ron has caught and released one sunny and two bass (12) by the time I get to walk. On the rampart of the bridge is a lovely pigeon, a thoroughbred. It wears a blue band.
   “Someone’s racing pigeon, ” says Ron.
   I capture the bird with digital technology. I discover I have lost many previous [...]

Colonial Ad

August 9, 2009

   Ticket stub, pick of the litter: Colonial AD 000822. Colonial ADULT. Colonial Theater ADULT ticket. Cherish is the word I use to describe.
   Adult ticket and baby heron. 8:14 this morning. First ever sighting of an immature bird. It stands in the grass. It stands about 18″ high. It stands still.
   Because it [...]

Patrick, Dave & trout

July 21, 2009

    At the Heritage Center, find Patrick name label on grass and chalk hopscotch on the asphalt walk. Patrick is the perfect name for the day; it matches the date.
  ”That’s a good way to remember!” taking a picture of the activity board.
 
 About to report only heron is the fake one at Signature Pools and Patios, [...]

Creativity and Children Balance

 In with the park ranger. Mango seed on balance beams. Fibrous and light yellow.  Heron: picture perfect morning. Takes off, glides over the mill bridge, fascinating fisherman with three scissors and me. Turtle trail. Found writing: I love —– 
   Pathlings aplenty. Capture INXS, now that Nikon released from camera hospital. Trail reports: Mating fish alert. Hawk spotting. Sunning snapping turtle. [...]

Hi Jen

June 23, 2009

 
 
  Fish Crave It!™  the Eagle Claw trademark, an Avenir ™  disc, FIRE on a tee shirt and some blue willow clip art left over from grant application thumbnail proposals. Written in screenings in wide simple strokes: HI JEN. Three cars in the upper lot, all spread out.  A heron at either end, one by Plum [...]

Tree Vectors

May 29, 2009

 
 
 
     The great unanswered trivia question today is where do yoopers live? 
   Pounding rain overnight clears the way and has showered down stringy things from the trees near the six marker, site of a suicide last century. I like the spattering of the tree things and, using an envelope, draw them with arrows to show the tips.  Tree [...]

Acme Tackle

April 19, 2009

     Water cycle. What’s the big idea? Why is there a big fat ‘D’ in the center of the path at the 10 marker, where an access point inroad intersects?  Some horse hoofprints in the area, too. This is no bridle path. Pedestrian and cyling exclusively.
    Fifteen vehicles fill the upper parking lot, which is [...]
