“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile."
? William Cullen Bryant ?

What is this ? I see the sun.
I'm grabbing my camera
and I've gotta run.

Icicles & holly await my clicking.
Maybe a winding river panorama
with snow on banks sticking.

What natural surprises await ?
Perhaps a fawn and the mama.
Off I go to enjoy this date.

McTag.} With all manner of foul play.

Big doings in big F today. A much needed rainstorm & a public hearing on the Tower theater.
I heard via KXEX the live performance of our "city Council." My worst suspicions confirmed : the City has $pied the State & Federal operations & has weighed in on the side of IN$ANITY.
IT$ going to lay waste public money to "SAVE THE TOWER"....just like it saved Granite park [ mcNOT.
..like it re Vitalized downtown...
And it's going to argue it's case in court with it's legal Losers....losing more money.
Ironically, the ADVENTURE CHURCH currently occupying said property is also in the Wrong-- but unless you are aware of Fresno happenings, I doubt you would be interested...our own Mayor has said; "95% of Fresno is not interested in the Tower District."
..[ how right he is on that point- at least.]
This story first came to my attention on a Sunday morning sum 11 months ago. I was on my way to the Travel Lodge for pool service. Then eYe noticed a tribe of howlers picketing a church service that was still about 90 minutes from opening.
3 weeks later, same bat day, same bat Time, the Howlers had multiplied & amplified... sporting diverse & fam. Friendly signs ...such as, " ABORT JESUS."
...I shouldn't have to tell ya, what side the local press is on. The dysInformation from the Fresno Bee has been EPIC from the jump...as the saying goes.

I was asked to design a credenza with an Asian theme for a client. He liked it and was ready to place an order... then, changed his mind and decided to consult a decorator who worked for a furniture store. They came up with a floating shelf instead of the credenza.



I've been going through some hard drives used to archive drawings and images created over the years. This was one of my favorites.

In Australia a man practices using chalk on a bridge wall to see how well chalk
would adhere to concrete for a project he was hired for.
He liked the finished temporary project and just left it up for the weekend
so others could enjoy it, with plans to wash it off on Monday.
Things didn't quite work out, as originally planned.
Take a look;

As a young artist in New York City, what is this obsession with work being "free-handed". Honestly, most people don't get a chance to see the process of how each artist created their work. Nor are they educated enough to tell the difference. Though "free-handed", does show more skill, in my opinion, it's not always the most precise and time efficient. Nor does it affect the value of the piece. Besides, most people that complain or critique about work that isn't "free-handed", are you willing to pay more or even pay at all. If not, sit down and be humble

Segovia gave the first recital of the classical guitar
in New York in 1928. 5 years later a show called
"las calles de Cadiz" introduced flamenco to the city.

In condo life, if you don't arrange for your trash to be removed, it must remain near the dumpster for normal garbage collection. Someone dies and 40 years of furniture and bedding gets stacked along side of a dumpster. Sometimes, items that are in fair to good condition get recycled. It's there in the morning and an hour later it's gone, before the garbage truck passes by.
I've watched the sanitation crew load a sofa into the back and the arm comes down splitting the sofa into pieces to be consumed by the steel arm and not seen again. They usually do a quick check under cushions to see if there's cash under there... One worker said only coins... he's waiting for surprise payoff of a wad of 100's


During the night, a statue was placed in front of a dumpster near the community entrance. Badly weathered, it was obviously on display in someones back patio. When it's time to go, it's time to go and by noon, the statue disappeared!
I figured the new owner painted it with polyurethane and the statue 'lives again'

I don't know what religion/culture worshiped him, but it was important for one man's trash to become another man's treasure.

Its a Pakistani tv serial. Unfortunately the English subtitles are not available. But I can translate it into English if somebody asks me to.
I am sharing one of the episodes of that serial.
