I think the title says it all.

This is one of my favorite “decisive moments” photos – as Cartier Bresson liked to put it. I was focusing on the beautiful old trees, the symmetry and color of the traffic signs, and the funny white street markings, when she decided to walk across the street, making the image complete!
One of my photos (Winter Spectrum) from my late fall 2020 online portfolio was selected for the Turtle Bay West Coast Biennial exhibit which runs from January 29 – April 11. I just received an e-mail this morning that the exhibit which was virtual only is now open for viewing in person too – with social distancing of course. The exhibit is located inside the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and Museum in Redding, CA. The Sundial Bridge next to the park which is an architectural marvel is worth a visit too.
I saw this chalk pastel drawing while walking in a city in Germany in 2012. This person has remarkable talent. I think Beethoven would approve, perhaps even applaud – although that may fall on deaf ears if you forgive the pun. I’m always saddened when people just walk by something like this completely ignoring such creativity. I suppose shopping is more important to them. I for one, thoroughly appreciated this street art.

I saw these lovely denizens of the sea yesterday waiting to be bought at the fish counter and taken home to celebrate the new year. I see this as an invitation for a better year and some culinary adventure too.
