A Face is a Landscape

-   Where do you see one?

It All Starts With the Mind

November 11, 2009

  ” It all starts with the mind,” says Victor. “I can do anything I want when I make up my mind to do it. The mind moves the hands, the feets. It all starts with the mind.”
   Victor was one of six people on the trail, on a light rainy Veteran’s Day morning. There is [...]

Stunning Nuts

November 7, 2009

   Today is national bittersweet chocolate with almonds day and that sounds good if you like that sort of thing. There is not a heron to be seen this morning and when George and I meet, we talk cameras and picture taking. He says that a couple of days ago, he went home to fetch his [...]

Gunpowder Day

November 5, 2009

   In the vast scheme of bizarre and unusual days and holidays, today we celebrate gunpowder and the image of a powder puff and a gun or a smoking gun (puff of smoke) and Guns N Roses and the DuPont family of gunpowder industry and gunmetal grey and all those kinds of associations are invited [...]

Blue herons, blue tree

November 4, 2009

   Water feeds wood. Tree decorating time at the park. Keith Beck takes a step back to evaluate his work thus far. The tree they wrap with blue lights is fifty per cent done.

A Great Pumpkin

October 31, 2009

      
 Edgar Allen Poe and Raven
were taken with this pumpkin
 (see the Oct. 19 post),
 a round straw bale
 fancifully transformed
 into a pumpkin
 to let people know
 about Duncan’s Corn Maze along the Robesonia-Bernville Road.
 Ingenious, honest solution to the problem. Happy Hallowe’en!

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 [...]

New Bag Lady

October 28, 2009

   This morning my bun was given to me in a a bag stamped with yet another new name from DURO. This one is Juana Sarango and the paper bag was created on September 22, a four day.  Juana has a name that makes me feel like dancing.

Do It

October 26, 2009

    The rock having come to a standstill, it’s almost as if we have been on vacation. We have been walking and visiting the Franklin Institute and a donut hole and so forth and so on and spotted an eagle this past week and suddenly all the fall colors are come and gone. We declined [...]
