Flying across the USA
Looking up ↑

 "when we look up,When we look up it wid items widens our horizons are there any sentence. we see we see what a little speck the littlest back we are in the universe Little little speck we leave our you new computers, so insignificant, and we all take ourselves so seriously....." Julia Gregson

 I like to look up because of the surprise, ever-changing beauty and fact it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME...

 plus I am not using my phone or on social media!!!!!👤
California
Those in california-maybe they take that blue sky for granted? Or maybe not...In RI, I was able to catch a sunrise, something I haven't done in a long time. Always awestruck-but equally so when the storms come out💥👍
Meandered to Rhode Island
I love the texture in this picture!!
Narragansett Bay
Long Island Sound with just a touch of pink
More than a touch of pink in this one!!!
Anywhere, USA

A different pattern every time–the beautiful surprise  of just  letting go ..

Museuming in Boston

I drove to Boston, having never seen a full exhibit of H. Matisse. The Museum of Fine arts Boston curated this-he lived a long life and was heavily influenced by the broader world: Africa for one... So Matisse lived a longish life-1869-1954 So it makes me think-he spanned many other artists, so many other influences- Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism & many more. But he seemed to be loyal to his own vision- As evidenced by his affinity to pattern✅ He also loved setting up his studio- objects , cloths etc Art, art- just love it for opening my eyes!  How about you?

From here to there...

We stay busy, we find meaning-but getting older, as much as it is a gift,  is a challenge. As a friend just said, I am working with the gaps. I know what he means. Am thankful for time-yes, but there is no great prep for dealing with identity & generativity  . So, I wander & jump into things with a yes. I hunt humanity. i don't ask- Do i need it-does it spark joy.... it's a gut feeling, no questions asked. I use my time to enter reality and everyday it's different. Nature, of course is such a draw. I actually think I like bike riding because it allows me to see a lot in a prescribed amount of time! Here I was riding along the Farmington River in Connecticut.  T. S. Eliot said "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go..." or a visit to Edith Wharton's (the writer) house in Lenox, Massachusetts. The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, etc... I learned she wrote her first novel at 11 years old and lo

Floating flowers-probably a hardy type, as this was taken in Massachusetts earlier in the year while wandering...Love how they pop up! Also fond of them because the flowers , although they last just a couple of days, keep coming🌼 Functional too-nice little hiding spot for fish & a rest stop for froggies🐸 Monet, as we know did over 200 water lily paintings in France. Monet, leader of French Impressionism lived a long life and is buried in Giverny, France. He obsessed over flowers-which makes me adore him😍-and had his own pond in France...he used silver, white, cobalt violet, emerald green, ultramarine, cadmium yellow,  vermillion & lemon yellow to paint, & actually planted his own water lilies on his property. There was no love lost, though, in the early 1900's toward Monet's series of water lilies. Critics disliked his colors , choice of WATER LILIES. Say what?? Hey, what did they know??? Right?? Some of the 200 some water lily paintings were lost in a fir
