mars is laughing at us.

I am both utterly perplexed and totally amused by this video (which is way, WAY not appropriate for viewing at workplace or within earshot of children, btw):

Cheer up, it could be worse, we could be like Cananda:  “What’s going on, eh?”  The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and we’re [...]

again with the art… oh, and some news

Sorry for the glare.  (Can you see my reflection? )  The painting was behind glass in a room with a lot of daylight – photographing it was a bit of challenge.

This is another painting (actually, a study for a larger painting, I think) from the Farnsworth in Rockland.  In looking [...]

flickr friday …and more art

Still no insanity.  Two days in a row — I’m on a roll!
Because it’s flickr friday, I thought it would be appropriate for today’s artwork selection to be a photograph:

white aspens – Eliot Porter (1901-1990)
Like the other works I’ve shared recently, this one is also from the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland.  This [...]

First things first:  Happy Veterans Day today to all those heroes out there.  Thank you for being willing to leave your lives, your families, your friends, everything behind in order to serve our country — you are [...]

flickr friday

Ok, I’ll admit I tweaked the saturation on this picture just a tiny little bit:

It was pretty faint in the sky and I was driving when I took the picture, but it’s not everyday you see a rainbow, so I wasn’t going to let the photo-op pass me by. And I’m using it today [...]

still catching up

car-stopping sunset, bailey island
Hello, lovely friends.  I’m still a bit quiet over here – this week, which as you know I designated as my get-caught-up-with-photos-week, has turned out to be busy all around.  I did some substantial uploading of pictures to my Flickr page this week:  a bunch from my father-in-law’s 60th birthday party, some [...]

top ten tuesday: busy expressions

wine and yoohoo (it’s a winning combination!)
Ah, this picture makes me smile.  I guess I’ve gotten to that age where parties aren’t just about the adult beverages…
As per my promise in yesterday’s post, I’m working hard to get caught up with my backlog of photographs.  In the past two nights, I’ve uploaded a bunch of [...]

miscellany monday

single tulip, Lewiston
~ In case you haven’t already read it on his blog, I thought I’d let you know that Joel’s car was recently vandalized (albeit in a pretty minor way).  Presumably by some nutjob who considers himself a member of “the party of tolerance” or some garbage like that.
~ I heard a good joke [...]

still quiet

I have to head off to a meeting in 15 minutes, so I can’t write much, but I thought I’d pop in to say hello.  Hey, there!  How’s everything in your world?
Oh, and here’s another ocean picture:

Two Lights State Park, Cape Elizabeth, Maine
Heather said she’s really enjoying these ocean shots, so I picked this one [...]
