Sounds and Objects in Harmony: Sound Sculptures at Flinn Gallery, Greenwich Connecticut USA

Ever since I was a child, I've loved to delight and in these people. My artistic ideas originate from asking myself, 'if I were to create this, wouldn't people be astonished and amused?'

Happy Monday! Dreams of Autumnal Gold and Wanderlust

Ah! to dream of autumnal gold and wanderlust! We've been truly blest with striking colors, even on overcast days like this one. 

I've passed by all these trees since arriving here in Connecticut from my home in Hawaii. Each day this Autumn season has brought subtle changes with initial hints of golds peeking through the green. Yet our days have shortened, and now we are blessed with this harvest of golden delights. 

Happy Monday to you! We're off to a good start! 

Sunday Mornings.

This is the sight that I awakened to. Even on an overcast morning autumn's burst of color continues to inspire. Happy Sunday!

Autumn golds brightly burn.

Autumn golds continue to burn brightly from surrounding trees. It's all a reminder as to why I love this season of the year best.

Birds of a feather...

Only a friend -or a giraffe- would stick his neck out for you.

"Only a friend -or a giraffe- would stick his neck out for you. But only a giraffe would eat all the leaves off your tree so he could peek in your second story bedroom window."

Autumnal Delights: Burying Hill Road in Round Hill, Greenwich, Connecticut USA

Under brilliant blue, cloudless skies I journeyed to Burying Hill Road in Round Hill. Near where I grew up in Greenwich's backcountry, I drove and eventually walked up and down this ancient, meandering road. All I heard was the silence of gentle winds stirring red and gold autumn leaves on countless oaks and maples. It was the height of autumn foliage time here in Connecticut. How nice it felt to be home again.

 

Autumnal Delights: Scary Displays at Optical Options, Greenwich, Connecticut USA

Optical Options on Greenwich Avenue in my home town, Greenwich, Connecticut, is more than a destination for a variety of eyeglass frames, lenses, contacts or a place to get your eyes checked. 

The people who run this store attract attention with its store window displays. They are famous for this. So after a recent commute to New York City via Metro-North I was walking up "the Avenue" I saw that Halloween was in full swing!
