Shots from 12 & 13 May, 2011. Pride of place to a Degas-like still life (I flatter myself but took the inspiration from his penchant for having the subject of the painting extend beyond the boundaries of the frame), & then some wisteria & bikes en route from Alexander lesson & then a building project shot taken from the bus, which project has only the facade intact for some reason - maybe it was an historical structure for some reason. Come to think of it - it might become the entrance to the commuter rail terminal they're upgrading nearby. That would be nice.
Toddling, tootling & laundry on tap for today. Sun's out & not to hot, the goddess be praised. Speaking of which, Andy & I were toddling around the neighborhood the other day & happened upon an elderly man tending one of the nearby community gardens. I stopped to talk & saw that he was raising marigolds in several of the plots. When I asked him what he was going to be doing with the flowers, since they obviously weren't keeping the rabbits @ bay from his tomato patch that was in another part of the garden, he said he was growing them for his temple where they use them in garlands to honor Krishna (not that Krishna was a goddess but that did put me in mind of the memory). Now you don't see that on Mulberry Street!
