“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song.” - Maya Angelou 

His morning song, crimson feathers, and suspicious stare challenge me as I peer through the glass.

March in Pictures

As I mentioned thirty-one days ago, I am not enamored with the month of March. The dream of a month of images featuring verdant hues was nearly impossible; and there weren't the blue and gold photos I hoped for either. This Marquette fan is traumatized by our conspicuous absence from any post-season tournaments - talk about March Madness! I do, however wish Wisconsin fans the best of luck. Although, as predicted, March was virtually another month of winter, I did manage to capture glimpses of sunshine and subtile signs that the seasons are indeed changing; and, true to form, March did come "in like a lion," (12º,  2" more of snow) and is going "out like a lamb" (61º and breezy with showers this evening - Perfect for Opening Day of the Brewers' season!) - Happy Spring!

Space

The Milwaukee Art Museum is one of my favorite spaces in the world.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of visiting the Art in Bloom exhibit...

The flower sculptures juxtaposed against the works of art that inspired them,

and the arrangements by local florists...

...were beautiful and awe inspiring!

Yet, as much as I love flowers,

...it is the space this inspires me most!

The Shadows

The light, the angles...

This space is truly a gift!
