Mittens in the garden
Hoo boy did I wish for mittens on the photo shoot at the crane roost this morning. The temperature was in the teens and the photographers were far more colorfully turned out than the birds.
Gone spineless
This cactus caught my attention on a walk about the cactus gardens at the visitor center and I snapped a few pictures of its warm, friendly, puffy, mitten like countenance and not realizing at the time - this puppy has no spines. No wonder it seems so friendly. What's with the no spines bit? Where did they go? Do they grow back? Is this a spineless species?

Something Useful Can Be Artful
A life, I believe - lived well and openly - with a certain sort of careful attention to form and function - creates art - or, at the very least, inspires it. I believe that art is contained in the ordinary events, that the small things we see and hear and learn everyday provide opportunities to explore parts of ourselves or our society in a way that can actually produce art. Whether it is a story you leave behind or one you take with you, I believe that any given situation is rich with opportunities to participate in the creation of something useful that can also be artful.
