Backyard Artisty: All In A Dog's Eye View

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web."

  Maggie and are in the backyard. She's chasing the tennis ball or searching for twigs when I notice this spider's web. First reaction is one of "not another spider web". These spiders weave their webs in our yard like rabbits populate. We might not be fans of the spiders' webs in our yard, but we are appreciative of their artistry. I guess it's like artwork. We like Renoir's paintings. Another person might like Pablo Picasso's work. We think it's still brilliant to create a vision and share it with the world.
Maggie's contribution to the artwork in our house is her "catch of the day". Another twig. Who knows, it might look good on the wall next to Renoir's: Luncheon of the Boating Party?
