Beautiful Birds


Gallivant - a show of travel photography by Bruce kent and Chuck Britton includes many beautiful photographs of birds. Each time I look through this show I find something new to note. The Galapagos Islands are the subject of many of the pieces in this show. The birds of Galapagos have made their presence known. Chuck and Bruce have captured some of the most intimate shots of penguins, pelicans, frigate birds and blue footed boobies I've seen yet. The show also includes other animals along with the beautiful images of their travels to Iceland, Europe, Hawaii, China and South America.
The photos come down March 1st - don't miss them.

Assemblage can include so many different types of materials, and ideas. It can be something personal such as a reliquary of arranged items of a loved one, or a collection of souvenirs from a journey. It is the balance of color and shape, the puzzle of intriguing disparate objects assembled.

I also have a collection of things to share.
