 The shape of things
After working on this collage bit for a while, I wondered how things were coming together, so I took a photograph. It helps me see things more objectively. And I wonder, what do you see? I hope you see the start of a great horned owl(?). There's a perfectly imperfect element to collage that I like. How even small bits, like that crescent moon snip of yellow paper on the circle of black, can transform it into an eye ... one that looks like it's looking back. When I set it in place, it changed everything. Stopping to "smell" the flowers didn't prove as rewarding as I'd hoped, so for now, I'm back to collage, hoping this wise looking owl will prove more rewarding. And it is ... seeing it come to life is a hoot! Owl are you today?

 The coolest cat of all It was a stare down and the cat with the green eyes didn't blink. Twice now we've seen it, always slinking through the tall grass in front of the house two blocks down, one over. It never moves when we pass by. Just stares at us, drawing us in, compelling us to stare back. It never blinks. Do cats blink? It's the coolest cat I've ever seen. ---------------- This is a new entry in the I Write Letters to Say series. Today is Letter Writing Day. Letters are really just another way to say hello.
