Bus greenery

A single photo today of a bit of undeveloped land (may it remain so) I pass by in the bus on my way to acupuncture. Feeling well enough today to think about venturing out for some errand running. Cooler temps & lower humidity a plus - 68F now heading up to upper 70s so says the widget.

Remember that photo I included recently of a piece by Louise Bourgeois? Dead. Sadly about 2 weeks before I posted that picture. I'm that behind on the papers.

Various NYC

More pix from NYC trip - some from most recent once I get them downloaded from camera.

Still feeling exhausted, coughing, etc., from whatever infected me 1.5 weeks ago. The heat & humidity don't help. Heading up to 90+F today with "oppressive" humidity. :|


The heat & humidity don't help. MOMA desk & beaux, something from the Neue Galerie? Margi & MIchael's apt. Article on them can be found here http://tinyurl.com/24zvcer

Rothko, Still, Kruger

These from the MOMA trip. Rothko No.5/No. 22 (1950), Clyfford Sill 1944 No.2 (1944), and Barbara Kruger Untitled (1982).
Heading off in minutes to a MD checkup & then grocery shopping.

Beautiful day 64F heading up to 74F - rain predicted tonight. Hope it doesn't snarl travel plans tomorrow.

Bourgeois, Redon & Rodchenko

From MOMA's 13.May.2010 visit.
Bourgeois Ode & Foubli (2004), a fabric work, Redon's Centaur (1875-1900), and Rodchenko's Maquette for a handbill announcing the film Potemkin (1925).



Lots o' mgs. from the Wellesley group in the email today so I've already used up my allotted computer time. Beautiful day here. 66F heading up to 77F so they say.

Out to the P.O. & then a toddle, then off to Polarity treatment, picking up my newly-tuned-up bike (and future exercise provider), and student this PM.

Leclerc, Bourgeois, Magritte

Not necessarily in that order. From MOMA on 13.May.2010. The cat is by Georges-Louis Leclerc (1936), the sculpture Louise Bourgeois (1950). Is it just me or is that sculpture just the teeniest bit phallic? The last by Magritte, another favorite.

Cloudy & rain forecast for today, temps heading up over the week. High today of 78F - with the humidity that'll be less-than-ideal. Busy week after today with various things tomorrow & Wed. in preparation for the trip to WI on Thurs. The uzhe on tap for me once I get back from today's toddle.

13.May.2010

How do you like the new look?
Moving on to 13.May.2010. The future home of the Museum of African Art right at the northeastern tip of Central Park. Photo of the park up there. Waiting for Moma to open - they claim it's 10AM but they don't let anyone in until 10:30 so be forewarned. And Phases of the moon (1939) by Paul Delvaux, Belgian artist 1897-1994 - wow he was old.


Lovely day here - the sky dove-grey, a gentle rain falling. 60F heading up to 67F so they say. Lovely. Tootling, laundry despite the rain because I need clothes to wear to WI. Stitching. Nice & peaceful.

Castles in the air

The last of the 12.May.2010 pix. Various castles around the Met Museum and maybe next time I'll have M. Joseph do my hair at his fancy schmacy salon. I'm guessing it would cost more than $10.
Heard a radio story about a natural playground in Dorchester not too far from here. And yet frustrating for people like moi who hopes to attract flute students that it is mentioned in the same breath as gangs and violence as if all Dorchester is plagued. The playground's neighborhood is not too far from Franklin Park, too, which is a lovely place.

Another beautiful day here - low temps & not too humid.
Weather widget says 64F heading up to 73F with a chance of rain. Guess I'll get out early for my toddle - or maybe forego it since I walked quite a bit yesterday to & from the acupuncture appt. Oh, and guess what? There's still that pile of papers (somewhat reduced).
