Crushed Art and Blossoms



I was walking home from Badger Park today

when I found this crushed box the crayons in the middle of the intersection. It got me thinking about all the pieces of art that will not be created. Crayons today will lead to other medium tomorrow. Has some budding artist been crushed too? Will he or she give up art and move on to some other creative endevor.

On the other hand, some people might see beyond the litter in the street.

This is truly street art. The coming rains will alter it and one of these days the street cleaner will come along and remove what remains.


The second picture was taken in Badger Park. I don't know what the tree is, but the blossoms are beautiful. They were create by mother nature with one purpose in mind, to attract bee's. They are here for only a few days and then are carried away by the rain and wind, their job completed.

Next year we know they will come again, blooming in the Spring of the year.

Enjoy.

Citrus Festival


What did you do on Valentines Day? We went to the Cloverdale Citrus Festival. Cloverdale is about 17 miles North on Hwy 101. the big attraction was their 118th annual Citrus Festival. It's a typical small town fair with a carnival and exhibits, including 4-H animals. This guy was keeping an eye on things.
We went to see a couple of our favorite entertainers. Williams and Ree, The Indian and the White Guy, were performing. We have been known to drive a couple hours to see them perform.
They were great at usual and we got a chance to chat with Bruce Williams for a few minutes. It was a beautiful day and a great outing. .
