I love the green building all snuggled up against another monolithic color, with the shy satellite dishes peeking over the top.

Isn't it nice and cool today, by comparison?

Surreal Morning

The high contrast shadow in this arch reminds me of the paintings of Giorgio de Chiroco, the Italian Surrealist painter ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_de_Chirico and http://www.abcgallery.com/C/chirico/chirico.html) as in Piazza d'Italia, below.

Bat Berries Bike Gloves

E. picking raspberries along the Greenway. A couple kids came along and were intrigued.
"Can we do that too?" they asked.
She showed them how; I got the sense they'd never picked berries before.

Sit With Dreams


Mosaic seating at the north east corner of Peavey Park, Chicago and Franklin Avenues.  There are four complexes of seating, each with dream-like figures and designs.  Try them out to experience the vibrations from the embodied spirits.

US v. Brazil, Women's World Cup


Sunday morning, watching the 2011 Women's World Cup [link to schedule etc.] at Midtown Global Market (where you can watch all the games for free on their public TVs).
The USA made a last minute goal to tie with Brazil, then won the game in a kick-out.
