It is a cloudy gray wet chill day where I am in New England. I may get up the courage to dash outside with my camera and take pictures of raindrop-laden foliage and flora, but … not yet. Until then, I am finding inspiration online in the luminous macro photography of Daniel Sroka. If nothing else, please visit Sroka’s site to view the tulips, not to mention the fallen leaves. And there’s a little tree … or is it? Amazing!
What’s inspiring you today?

Somerville Open Studios is only one month away! I spent the weekend doing more prepatory work. One of the items I’ll have available are notecards. They are A7 cards with 4×6 images affixed. Each card is signed. Last year I had cards in a basket. This year I’m hoping to have them in a card holder, either a table top or floor model.
I’m also sorting through my inventory to put together a Clearance Box of “as is” items from last year, mostly small matted prints. My next big decision is what prints to frame and at what size. Hmmm.

Not quite as heady as Godel, Escher and Bach, but still thought-provoking. The cover art (of course) drew me in, and the name of the author. I have always loved the poetry of Nikki Giovanni and wondered what she would do with a children’s tale.
The Grasshopper's Song
The story twists and turns from the original Aesop fable, and Giovanni certainly adds a jazzy blues feel through the language and behavior of the parties involved in the conflict. The short of it: the grasshopper wants some R-E-S-P-E-C-T and he’s taking the ants to court to get it. Not for the littlest of kids, but teens and adults will get a kick out of this one.

This Sunday, I find myself consumed with thoughts of math, music, science, and art — and oh, what a tangled web they weave. As I sit at the computer right now, I have open beside me a copy of Douglas Hofstadter’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. On the left page is Figure 104. Castrovalva, by M.C. Escher. On the right page, a crab, tortoise and Achilles are having a conversation about mathematics. It’s a book that I know is great, but my goodness, it does tax my brain. In a good way. 😉
