How did we get halfway through May already? It’s time to mention I’ll be taking my first break in six years between May 26 and June 6. We’ll be in Sweden. I’ll try to blog, but you never know.
It sure will feel strange not to post. I have put something up on this site every day since May 2011!
But before I leave, I have other things to share, including today’s photos. The first two are from the giant mural in Dewey Square, Boston — the latest in the Greenway’s ongoing series. The featured artist this time is Mehdi Ghadyanloo from Iran, where he is known for upbeat murals.
The next photo shows a WPA mural in the Arlington, Mass., post office. John pointed me to it after he saw my recent post “Hunting Down WPA Art.”
Then comes another of my shadow photos. Can’t resist shadows. That one is followed by tree-stump mushrooms and dogwood. Can’t resist mushrooms either.
The four Providence photos that follow attest to the fact that the city finally experienced a sunny Tuesday morning (the first since February). Blackstone Park is the location of the Indian shelter and the fallen birch tree with the mysterious yellow plastic strips (art?). Nearby was a wondrous carpet of pink petals and an early rower on the Seekonk River.
Finally, I wanted to show you my lilac progression. With muse.

Love the mushrooms at the base of the old tree trunk.
I am intrigued by life that grows on something that is otherwise dead — lichens, fungus, mushrooms. Sometimes they are really pretty.
A fine spring collection! The birch with the yellow looks like something I could weave on (I know–one-track mind!) I can’t believe you’re taking time off–what a run you’ve had. I could no sooner post every single day. I do hope you’ll tell us all about Sweden upon your return!
I will definitely post about Sweden. As for posting every day, it makes me feel good, but I think if I wrote original posts like you do instead of just linking to others’ work, I’d have more commenters. I love your blog.
Sweden will give you time and inspiration to post a blog every day!
Big smile here.
