In blog # 2285, I mentioned ...

one of my favorite artists, Joanell Connolly.

She had a special event Wednesday ...

 luckily Valerie and I went for a dose of inspiration. 
A big dose!

Such a wonderful concept ...

I took a gazillion photos,  Joanell said I could.
I posted 78 photos of the stellar works on this blog
from 16 books of pure inspiration!
At Joanell's request, I have deleted the photos 
as she was not comfortable with sharing them on this format,
and I never intended to overstep her wishes.

Just know that if you ever get a chance to see 
Joanell's work ... run, don't walk. It is that good!

I bet you wish you had been there? 
To see Joanell's creativity, humor and vision?

Remember, I invited you, here.

Joanell & Valerie

Thank you Joanell! Valerie and I were truly inspired, big time!

Heading home on the 22, we even beat the traffic!

Another great day!

Those of you who visit this silly blog often, might know 
I love classical, rock and roll & a wide variety of music styles.
But, there is a special love of the cello.

Artist/friend Mary McKay, sent me this link of the 

Kannek-Mason family of seven gifted sibling musicians, 

featured in a lovely 9 minute video, here.

If you watched the wedding Saturday you saw prodigy, Shaku.

The dubious joys of early rising?

Well I tried it out Sunday morning.

Getting up at 4:15 am to drive to SM & WW's house.

15 miles and not a single car on the road, until

I reached the 91 freeway & out of the twilight zone.

Superman & WonderWoman had a flight from LAX to NYC.

We four made the 5:30 am drive with minimal traffic.

Grandhunk #3 was to drive their car home, and

I volunteered to tag along as co-pilot.

Some of the best conversations happen in a long drive.

So until we drive in next Sunday for pick-up ...

it's just GH#3, grand-dog Laker and I & we'll be just fine.

TMI?

Day 1611: A gift of wet stuff from the sky!

"turn", collage, photo, ink & digitsl

A gift of wet stuff from the sky!

I love the rain & we don't get much in SoCal.

Now two days in row & I am thrilled!

Happy, happy, happy! 

At a stop light I noticed the birds on the traffic light ...

do you ever notice how they congregate?

 

Usually in groups.

But I wondered why this one bird was alone?

Is he tired of the other six? A disagreement maybe?

I wanted to get a close up, but ...

as you can see, my left turn light signal lit up.

I love to do errands in the rain ...

lots of different views.

My shots are mainly determined by red lights ...

or really slow traffic ...

or heaven help us ...

 the freeway!

A smile for Friday ...
