“True strength is delicate”



“True strength is delicate”

so said Louise Nevelson, a Russian-born American abstract sculptor.
She had 88 years to experience and share this lovely thought as well

“I never feel age. . .
If you have creative work, you don't have age or time.


~We are each of us the divine painter of our own Master piece~


The painting above is by one of my favorite artists who happens to live here in Santa Fe, Carol Anthony.
The egg altar is in the home of my dear neighbors, Lola's parents.
And the robin's eggs are the creation of one of the many wondrous birds who live(d) here in our neck of the woods.

America's Best Idea


"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,
for going out I found, was really going in" John Muir


A new film by Ken Burns premiers this Sunday on PBS. It's called "The National Parks: America's Best Idea", and is an epic, six-part feature that took five years to film. Excerpts have been shown on PBS and the cinematography looks outstanding. For a look behind the scenes click here. It is so beautifully done, as usual with his work. He just keeps getting better and better. It runs in two hour segments, Sunday through Friday. Enjoy~
