Indiglow

Originating with an ornamental cabbage, this image, Indiglow, was altered to highlight the texture and layers of the plant.  By doing so and converting to black and white, the outcome is an intriguing piece of abstract art.  In addition, in the recent Light Space & Time Online Gallery Abstracts competition, it earned Special Merit.  To view several outstanding abstract images, visit the following:  http://www.lightspacetime.com/current-online-juried-art-exhibition/

Waiting for Bride

"Think not because you are now wed that all your courtship's at an end."

                                               --Antonio Hurtado de Mendoza

Birds v Squirrels

Look carefully and you'll see four birds and four squirrels all vying for a hearty meal at the feeder.  Upon viewing this sculpture, made entirely of LEGO bricks, immediately I thought of all the 'issues' folks in these parts have with squirrels and birdseed -- I laughed and laughed.  Also, be sure to notice that even the birdseed is LEGO bricks.  Pretty neat!  Anyway, made by LEGO brick artist Sean Kenney, this creation and several others are currently in an exhibit at Powell Gardens in northwest Missouri.

Bold & Beautiful

"Beauty is not in the face;

Beauty is a light in the heart."

                            --Kahlil Gibran

80 Years Young

To a wonderful father-in-law, happy birthday!

"Age is a case of mind over matter.

If you don't mind, it don't matter."
