Easter weekend and a walk on the beach

 

following in the footsteps of my beautiful daughter

 

over the wet sands

 

and hard rocks

 

she leaves her mark

 

multiple triangles

 

on surfaces in the sand

 

and so she continues ahead of me

 

until she waits

 

and turns to smile

 

walking with love on the beach

someone’s frustration with our PM

Now we have set up a fb page

a space for artists to post their work

 

As creative thinkers, artists can play a unique roll in advocating for positive change. Artists can use their creativity to not only support a cause, but to raise awareness in general. 
Artists for Protecting Our Planet aims to do just that.
If you are inclined to make a statement via some public art for raising awareness about protecting our precious planet, then we invite you to post your work on this fb page. Photos or videos of your work or creative other works you encounter in your environment would be most welcome.
It is our hope that all creative souls will participate. We envision, poets, musicians, writers, photographers, visual artists, artisans, young people, makers of all kinds contributing to this group. 

Let’s use our Art For Change
Thanks for joining,
Artists for Protecting Our Planet

…and of course revered are the silos at Granville Island

Osgemeos has been given much publicity for their creation

Two new entries for the library project

https://annamilton.com/community-projects/library-project

Above, the image is from the cover of a mystery by Barbara Vine.

Barbara Vine was being read by a fictional character

in a Margaret Drabble Novel I was reading….as I hadn’t read

or heard of Barbara Vine, I got the Chimney Sweeper’s Boy

from the library next time I was there. Love the cover photograph.

 

 

A mausoleum for a Fine and Private Place.

 

…and below is a quote from A Tale for a Time Being

by Ruth Ozeki. Loved the book but not featured in the library project.

(too many books…not enough drawing)

Just wanted to include this quote below.
