I love children's books illustrations!

especially in these times, this just makes me feel nice.

sorry I can't tell you who painted this, perhaps someone else can?

I am very fond of children's book illustrations. I guess it's because of the innocence.

dear old rushmore.

dear old rushmore,

how I wish you would live forever.

maui.

since it has been so cold and wintery here in minnesota, I thought a shot of some tropical paradise was called for. what a lovely day that was. cloudy and having just rained and still wonderful. I hope that soon I shall return to this beautiful spot.

stay warm.

the fox of wintermoor.

this big old fox was in the back yard yesterday,
(dig the edgy hand held camera work!)

and so was this deer. hmmm they musta' been hungry and cold good luck guys.

february morning.

a new day dawning.

thank God.

sven.

january sunrise.

left alone now for years.

and wondering why?

dear old friend you have always been.

but oh so silently creeping.

now dawn comes again.

and dreaming of shadows and mist.

but so unreal.

how do you expect to carry on?

what everyone says matters most.

and to the family goes your heart.

your desire and prayers.

please see me now.

sven.

january sunset.

this winter seems so cold.

like the tears on your cheek.

and the tracks in the snow.

sven.

sorry to be gone so long. so much is going on and so little.

the art museum, thank goodness it's not monday.

what's fun to do on a super cold sunday afternoon in minneapolis? the weisman is always fun.

some new acquisitions.

galleries.

travel posters.

scenes from the weisman's western facing windows.

that was fun, now how 'bout a visit to the teahouse?

sven.

weisman.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

may this year bring you blessings and peace, wherever you are.
