welcome to your planet

No matter who you are or where you live,

a very cool thing to see on the Internet 

is now being launched at:

http://www.mappinglife.org/

Instead of explaining it,

 I'll let you explore the planet yourself.

You didn't have anything else to do, did you?

Except maybe find art.
Look here.

finding art

If you are a find artist, as I am, art is all around you. So far on this trip, I have found these treasures:

At the Portland Museum of Art a remarkable exhibit, "Edgar Degas, The Private Impressionist".

On an island in Casco Bay, thousands of beautiful faerie houses, some tiny and some quite grand, all built of things found there in the woods by anyone who passes by.

I'll post more about those when I get back to Boulder.

However, this morning, I found this window propped up on the beach. Painted on it were these words:
"with every dawn
when first light
penetrates the sea
many seahorse colonies
perform a dance
to the sun".
