Postcard: Advice To A Young Poet
Carl Phillips


This is excellent advice not only for writing, but for living life following your own bent of mind.

Artist of the Day: Containers - Jeremy Miranda

shelter

Jeremy Miranda's painting shift perceptions of what a home is. In his works, home becomes something much differnt than a structure contains and shelters. Home becomes an oasis, a garden, a wilderness.

artist bio: Welcome! I'm a long-time photographer, digital artist and designer who switched from corporate marketing in Hollywood to working with my husband in our own studio on a wooded wildlife habitat in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest.

Specializing in garden, floral and travel photography, I journey extensively around the world and in realms of the imagination, seeking to return with beautiful, serene, light-filled images sprinkled with a bit of magic. I sincerely hope you enjoy them!

Flags across the country are at halfmast.

The sun is hidden behind the clouds, but tulips and daffodils are in bloom, the trees are budding, and the world is good, despite everything.

Enjoy your weekend!

Artist of the Day: Found Baseball - Don Hamerman

found baseball

This is a marvelous photograph.

If you look at it long enough, you'll begin to see something else. I began to see a distinct image of John McEnroe, mainly of the tennis player's infantile temper tantrums. I think it's because of the stitches unraveling around the "mouth"  and the unruly "hair"  of the baseball, aka McEnroe.

What do you think?
