The Ponder Days

I am just a sojourner, an artist wandering through life with a sense of wonder about it all. Come ponder with me. This year is about observation and perspective.

This blog is interactive and is at its best when comments are left and opinions shared, lively discussions generated, and perhaps with your favorite beverage.

I would love to read your comments. Please, don't be shy...

Amazing place



This was one of the most fun day trips I've had. In Frederick, MD there is a bridge...a painted bridge. The birds sometimes fly to this fountain. Alas, there is no water, there is no fountain, there is no niche in the wall. It is painted on a flat surface. I repeat...painted on a FLAT surface, and a woman once wrote to the people responsible for maintaining the bridge about what a shame it was to have such a beautifully painted bridge and then let ivy grow all over it. You guessed it - the ivy is painted on as well. The little weed on the bottom left is real...



The gate isn't real either, nor the stones, nor the arch - flat surface! Look closely...the little bird is not really there. I was awestruck and want to go back to this charming place where there is art everywhere and little shops full of wondrous things. More info HERE
