Put a Bird On It

Yesterday, I gathered up my laptop and camera and headed to Wausau, Wis. for a morning visit to the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, a hidden gem in the North Woods. I love an art museum, but I particularly love this one because all of the art features birds: flying, nesting, migrating. Their pieces feature the likes of Charley Harper and other greats of the wildlife art world.

As I scooted around groups of schoolchildren who were legitimately interested in the artwork, I couldn't help but notice one common theme that came across in the pieces: vulnerability. Maybe it's because birds are generally viewed as small and delicate creatures, but I noticed the fragility even more as I looked through the photos I took.

If you find your direction pointing north, I would highly recommend a visit to this lovely art museum.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, That Happened...

So, I haven't blogged in two months. For many good reasons. Life happens. I know you all can relate.

To make up for my AWOL status, I am posting several photos that I snapped a couple weeks ago when I was up North with my husband for a few days.

By the way, when I say "up North," that doesn't just mean Green Bay in Wisconsin speak. I stayed in a cabin that was less than an hour from Canada. I've decided that I'd like to have a personal cabin all to myself that overlooks a lake and I'll write and write and write to my heart's content.

Until then, I'll just look at these photos again and again. Enjoy.
