Night Owl

Owls are largely nocturnal hunters.

They might hunt from a tree like my tree (aka Resa’s Tree), which lives on Tim’s Magic Tree Sanctuary

However, I found this owl in the daytime.

You’ll notice no owls in my daytime tree!

This owl is actually sitting on rocks by porch steps.

As day closes…

My tree awaits.

Kizmet

Yes, it’s spelled different.

KISMET

a hypothetical force or personified power that determines the course of the future events : fate, destiny.

Kizmet 32 is the artist who painted this box.

Although it was kismet that I bumped into this art,

… on a sunny day along Lake Ontario.

That meant shadows, but I think they work here. They are barely noticeable on the east side of the box.

None at all on the north side. The lake is in the background.

Can’t see any on the west side. Ha! Suddenly I see KIZ.

I’m luvin’ the shadow on the south side.

I had to get in on it.

Back to the beginning.

Art for Liz

I was chatting in comments with Liz Gauffreau recently.

It got to a point where someone else might have said: I need a drink now, I’m going for a smoke, time for a coffee & some chocolate or think I’ll go for a walk.

.. but Liz, what does she say?

“I think I need some art now.”

How cool is that? Well I have art and told Liz, I have some art for you!

Then, while picking out some art, it was like ..well what does Liz like?

After sweating it out in photo files for a week, the choices were narrowed down to two.

There is this piece, which is avant garde, open to interpretations and I’m sure not everyone’s cuppa tea.

OR a HOT PINK GOD!

HOT PINK GOD is magnificent, classic, sculpture like although flat and accessible in meaning.

Of course there are other art forms, such as music.

I could sing a song for Liz, but I’m sure that would just drive her to needing more art.

It was hard for me to leave this location. I wanted to stay.

After much reflecting on the choice, it was evident that art love is subjective. Therefore it’s difficult to select for anyone other than self.

Kittens Under a Bridge

While on a streetcar going to the east end to look for art, I saw this,

…. under a bridge,

… in the dirt,

… on pieces of cut out and painted wood.

Several stops later, I disembarked the streetcar, and walked back.

It was a dry day. Brand new white sneakers were upon my feet.

It was difficult to capture the scene in its entirety, as it was low to the ground,

… and there was a yellow cable holder right in the centre.

 The only spot I found where the full shots could be taken from, was in rather wide, deep patch of muck.

Best way to break in new sneakers, ever!
