Kim Smith Reminder

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A full schedule is planned this week–fall plantings, the premiere of The Butterfly Garden at Willow, and my lecture in New Hampshire. Rather than cooking half the night away Wednesday evening, I planned ahead and spent the weekend making lots of treats for Thursday’s premiere. I hope you can come!!

Thursday morning’s lecture in Amherst, Butterfly Gardening, promises to be a joyful, and informative, program. This summer my Fujifilm x100 gave me many new photos worth including in my lecture series and I couldn’t resist creating an entirely new slide show. I sorted though thousands of new photos over the weekend. And now, to tackle the video footage shot this summer—a daunting task ahead, but one I am sure will be rewarding!

I hope you are warm and cozy and not without power. Sixty-degree temperatures are predicted for the weekend! New England weather—as the adage goes-so very predictably unpredictable!

Warmest wishes, Kim

At The Shore, We Are All Children

Posted on by Marty Luster

The hurrying tumbling waves, quick-broken crests, slapping,
The strata of color’d clouds, the long bar of maroon-tint, away solitary by itself—the spread of purity it lies motionless in,
The horizon’s edge, the flying sea-crow, the fragrance of salt marsh and shore mud;
These became part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.

From There Was a Child Went Forth, Walt Whitman.

Shep Abbott Coincidentally Took a Picture Of A Sign Before It Went Missing and Asked Me To Post The Picture of Said Sign For Him

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Shep happened to have a picture of a sign he “noticed” before it was removed.  He asked me to post it. So here you go.

Shep writes-

I’m attaching a photo of a sign I noticed at Grant Circle which subsequently disappeared. I wonder who might have removed it. Perhaps you’d like to publish the photo with a query as to who might have removed it. Thanks ..

Must have been some no good hippie with nothing better to do because he wasn’t at work.

Mass Produced Art in China.

Published: July 15, 2005
SHENZHEN, China – Zhang Libing has painted more van Goghs than van Gogh ever did.

At 26, Mr. Zhang estimates that he has painted up to 20,000 copies of van Gogh’s works in a paint-spattered third-floor garret here where freshly washed socks and freshly painted canvases dry side-by-side on the balcony.
