As I write, millions upon millions of Americans are munching on epic amounts of nachos, chips, buffalo wings, pizza, and assorted other snacks, and washing them down with a variety of mostly "adult" beverages.  It is, after all, Superbowl Sunday.  There are quite a few Americans who are doing other things, including working to provide the pizzas and wings, not to mention security for the big game.  For us, it is pretty much like any other day - doing some preemptive laundry before the snowy week ahead (when there will be less solar gain) and working with photographs and wool.   The extent of our participation will be to check out the game commercials on YouTube tomorrow.

February is that limbo time of year when the ground is still frozen and the only evidence of spring waiting in the wings is wind.  Thus, many people choose to explore warmer climates.  Here are some shots from the island of Santorini, Greece, scanned from slides, full of warmth, color, and complexity, in the event you are in need.

This shot reminds me of an architectural model.

follow the cobblestone road...

...until you reach Intersection: lens, light, life, an exhibit of art by oil painters Kathy Olshefsky and Fran Nicholson, gelatin monotype artist Caroline Jenney and a collection of my photography. 

If you are coming from Santa Fe, take northbound I-25 toward Las Vegas to the exit for Highway 285 south toward Lamy.  Proceed to the signal light at Vista Grande and turn right into Eldorado.  Roughly a quarter of a mile later, there is a shopping area on the left side of the road.  Do a U turn and enter it.  La Tienda Exhibit space is housed within the area.   The opening is this Saturday night, 13 July, from 5-8.  There is a second opening on Saturday, 20 July from 5-7, featuring Caroline Jenney's group, Blue Moon Prairie.  The exhibit runs until 10 August and is open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Wednesdays-Saturdays. I will be there on Fridays if you want to visit.  Caroline, Fran, and Kathy would also like to visit and have a chance to talk about their work.

One of my pieces in the exhibit is this image of a walkway and red door in the Belgian city of Brugge.

until next Monday,
