Wenatchee Street Art
Last month we visited one of our favorite towns in Washington – Wenatchee, on the east side of the mountains where the sky is always blue and a river runs through it, the mighty Columbia. We stayed in a new hotel on the banks… Continue Reading “Wenatchee Street Art”

Fun With Watercolors
One of my worst memories from grade school was when we had to paint something in Art class. Afterwards the teacher showed our work to the class one by one while asking who the artist was. After seeing what others had done I was… Continue Reading “Fun With Watercolors”

More Favorite Sculptures
I like finding art in public places, especially quirky sculptures. I took the picture below in Washington DC many years ago, but we also have one of these in Seattle. If I have to tell you what it is you’re not as old as… Continue Reading “More Favorite Sculptures”

What is it? Unlikely You’ll Know
While walking down a garden trail I saw from a distance a great beehive, the largest one I’d ever seen. ‘Those bees were surely clever to have made such a home,’ I thought. ‘Highly unlikely,’ I realized as I drew nearer for it indeed… Continue Reading “What is it? Unlikely You’ll Know”
