This and That - Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Not much photography to share this week. 
The sky's been alternately blue and gray.
However, even on sunny days, it stayed below freezing.
On the weekend, we babysat for Sam, who is 5 months old.
He's a smiling, content baby.
  His newest skill is blowing raspberries.
He especially delights in practicing while eating.
My glasses are coated in mashed banana
by the time I finish feeding him.

Gathering together a few photos for
Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

THE SMALL THINGS

Sam's fat little piggy-toes.

ILLUSTRATION

Bob and I bought this illustration in 1985 from a young artist
outside the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
It's hung in several kitchens since then, in PA, in MD, and now in CO.

WORK of ART

My five year old grandson leads me through the fox installation at the Denver Art Museum.

WINDOW BEAUTY

A spruce laden with new snow provides some window beauty
as I snuggle inside with Sam.

VALENTINE

From my heart to yours:
Happy Valentine Day to all.
I hope your day isn't at all prickly!

  4. Love those toes, and the others too, Take care, they say CO is in line for big snowfalls, after the Eastern areas have had more than they wanted. Greetings, Jean.

  5. Love that you are surrounded by snow and yet your heart is a cactus...kind of an oxymoron, giggle. How fun to have a little one to babysit and enjoy his little piggies, and speaking of piggies...love that illustration!!

  16. I love that something you randomly picked up is still with you almost 30 years later. Do you wonder if the artist became famous? The fox installation is very cool, and the heart cactus :) X

  21. Have fun wiping the mashed bananas from your glasses! I love the snowy spruce needles - you know I can never get enough of snow pictures while sitting down here in FL.

  22. Soon, those feet will lose their innocence; they'll be walking--getting grungy, dirty, and stinky; but will still be lovable.

    I enjoyed ALL the photos. How'd you grow that cactus heart? :) You've got a perfect Valentine's card there.
