Eureka! Organic Street Art

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off of our souls."

Pablo Picasso

Maggie's fully focused look

  This weekend when we walked the rain filled mornings we came across some street art. We saw multiple leaf prints printed on the sidewalk like silk screened images. Maggie stopped in front of one leaf print as if she "found it". The great art discoverer Maggie! Except it wasn't a human artist, but Mother Nature herself. We were like Sherlock Holmes with our heads down when we continued along the sidewalk. Maybe we discovered nature's gold on the ground? We admired different leaf shapes imprinted on the cement. The other part of ourselves enjoyed the colorful 3D leaves scattered everywhere in between the clumps of pine needles bunched up. Wind and rain plumetted our neighborhood over the weekend. Our surroundings were washed clean of any dust, just like our souls were refreshed and renewed when we discovered the organic street art. 

Eureka!

Heads In The Clouds

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds."

  Maggie and I are having a hard time keeping our heads out of the clouds. They are so beautiful this time of year. All we can do when we take our walks or run around town is look up! There must be a castle on the other side of what we see. Our imagination takes off seeing the brilliant colors and shapes. When we look up it is like watching a moving piece of artwork in 3D.  No rules of architecture for Mother Nature. It's inspirational to see the creative forms all around us. Maybe Maggie will take up painting nature's cloudscapes? If she can hold a tennis ball for dear life, surely a paintbrush will do. We have brushes around here somewhere.... Hey Maggie, come over here. Have I got a paintbrush for you.
