1822. a second look

less than half an inch

maybe was a katydid

thought it was a leaf 🦊❤️

It was the smallest Katydid I’ve ever seen. At first I thought it was a leaf. Glad I took a second look. 🦊❤️

1821. leon’s morning ritual

“old glory” in sight

leon sits at attention

his “mouth organ” sings 🦊❤️

Leon was sitting outside of his senior residence in his wheelchair playing “God Bless America” on his harmonica (mouth organ). I stood nearby until he was done. He looked at me and said, “Every morning at 9:00 I come outside and play that song as I look at the flag. I am a veteran and I love America and am proud of that.” It was such a refreshing experience. Thank you Leon. 🦊❤️

1820. far out there

some will scratch their head

“what’s this have to do with art?”

for others -“far out!!!” 🦊❤️

I have just put the finishing touches on my art show “Remembering Tommy the Cat and Other Wissahickon Wonders”. The “Tommyhawk” rocket that bears Tommy’s name and image will be a very unique and off the beaten path addition to the show. 🦊❤️

1819. up against the wall….

rumbling in my head

plotted and planned on paper

next… here come the walls 🦊❤️

Yulan and I started to hang my upcoming exhibit at the gallery space today. We have a couple more days of work to do to finish the set-up. It’s exciting (and exhausting) to watch it all come together. 🦊❤️
