Past and Present Come Together

The Arts Desk:

Let us begin today with art from Paula, our artist friend in Tucson...


It's like looking at an old friend to see her beautiful prickly pear rendering. It is so much a part of Tucson and the southwest's environs. I imagine in the world of cacti images that prickly pears are as iconic as the saguaro. 

Paula found The Tucson Botanical Gardens include cacti from other worlds, too...


Besides this, Paula has kept up her Perpetual Journal entries as well. Here is January 8 thru February 25...

In Missouri, Susie and some of her friends have taken up their paint brushes to learn about making art in a local class they are attending together. Here's Susie's result from about a week ago...


Fishing is one of Susie's love's, too. Keep it up, Susie!

Recently, on a visit to Michener Museum of Art in Doylestown there were some music sculpture installations along the sidewalk as I walked from the parking to the museum...



...and, anyone could play them. Even though it was hard to hold the phone and play them at the same time, you can sort of get the idea here...

The Weather Desk on February 25th: 

it is Saturday
my pony Subaru and I
are heading home 
carrying groceries
the past enters the present
as my pony's radio fills the air
with Caruso's tenor
snow flurries brush the windshield
a formation of geese flies over
life smiles
and my pony glides

***

May you glide through your day.
