Arizona Sunshine at Capitol Museum

Arizona Sunshine at Capitol Museum

Another window. Inside, but not looking out. Too much sun. Too bright. Keep those shades closed.

Nothing Square about this WIndow

Nothing Square about this Window

April 1. New month, new season.

Windows. I love how there is nothing quite square about this window. Back in the 1800s I suppose they didn’t have to use rulers and squares when they were building their stone buildings. Eying it might have been good enough. I like that. I like its odd bit of crookedness.

Cactus Pottery

Tubac Arizona

Another Memoir Container (in Metaphor)

Here is another photograph of pottery to announce another article on collecting memories and assembling them into a multimedia memoir.

The second article is on Memoir Space at the Calm Space website, and it tells you how to find your personal writing muse using your favorite search engine. Really! It works. Grab on to those memories and fill up the nearest container.

This cactus pottery was seen on an adobe window in the town of Tubac, a few miles south of Tucson. I love how it appears to have a palo verde tree growing out of the container.

Rather metaphorical, like memoirs that can grow from writing just a few words every day.

Through the Window

Through the Window

Office window, downtown Tucson. Lots of plants in a sunny window, and a turquoise watering can.

Paused to do a bit of window shopping on Michigan Avenue, and take a few photographs, too. This store is across the street from the Art Institute of Chicago.

Without Risk Nothing Will Change

a quiet message

While visiting Shake Rag Alley, I noticed this basket when I peered through the window. There was a bit of a red bow and the turquoise on the table’s edge, so I set up and took a few photographs. It wasn’t until I had the photo up on my computer that I noticed the hand printed message on the edge of the table. It read:

****Without * Risk * Nothing * Will * Change ****

I believe there are few coincidences. So is this a message I needed to read today? Yes, I think it is.

Capitol Reflection

Wisconsin State Capitol

Wisconsin State Capitol

A walk around the Capitol Square usually provides a few views of the State Capitol in the office building windows. I love a good reflection.

A Dash of Red

Still Driving Around in the Cold

...and a Tree

Still taking a lot of my photos on half day drives through the countryside. I liked the way the bit of a shadow in the right lower corner seemed to mimic the lines of the tree.  Got warmer today though, and much of the snow cover is disappearing fast.

Arches in Devil's Garden

by Bo on 12/06/2008

Double O Arch

Double O Arch

Double O Arch is the second largest arch in the Devil’s Garden area of Arches National Park. (Landscape Arch is the largest.) There are actually two arches here – the smaller arch spans 21 feet and the larger one has a span of 71 feet.  They are both a part of the same sandstone fin.  The path to this arch is considered primitive (ha!) and is nearly a two mile hike from the Devil’s Garden Trailhead and parking lot. If you are a movie aficionado, you may recognize these rock formations from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Top Story Window

Top Story Window

Although geologists do not recognize the classification of a rock window, popular names often attribute window-like features to openings in the rocks. This opening, Top Story Window, is in the southern part of Devil’s Garden.
