Lovely Eggheads






I like these sculptures on UC Davis campus. The first one is Bookhead, placed near the library. The second one is Eye on Mrak. The third one is See no evil/hear no evil near the law school.  There are two more sculptures in this series: Yin and Yan, Stargazer. These sculptures are playful and eye-catching. They are made by former UC Davis professor Robert Arneson. A reproduction of Yin and Yan was placed in San Freancisco. When I first saw the Yin and Yan sculpture, I was intrigued, but not necessarily impressed. Later, I saw more and started to like them. They really enhance the landscape and give the campus a distinct character. Here's another picture to show the scale of the sculpture:

Renegade Craft Fair


Handmade bags from recycled materials and unusual fabric. 


A giant yarn ball at the Urban Craft Center booth.


I like the quilted tent cover of  Urban Craft Center. 


Watch yarn spinning from wool and amaze at the felted bacon, egg and toast. 


So many talented artists desplay their works in prints, cards, buttons, magnets and T-shirts. 


A wood workshop inside this bus.


Chinatown metro station stands out in the downtown landscape.

Paper sculpture


Creative paper sculpture seen at Tiffany's window on Rodeo Drive. Using watercolor on paper gives a  casual effect.

American Robin

I spied an American Robin this morning when I was walking on the treadmill.
It's short and stout with brick red round belly and tiny orange beak.
The head is black and back is dark grey.
 This robin would no doubt be considered obese with such a full belly.
It sits on top of a tree branch outside the fitness center window and grooms its feather leisurely.
Then it suddenly dives down fast from the branch for some delicious bugs or worms.

Secret dream

I was going through all the postcards I received over the years. This one is a delight. It's from Debra Prewitt in Colorado.
