Happy Spring
It is Spring
Spring is Here
It is the hour of the Garden Goddess
and to all those back East who cannot see Spring coming, we in the West say
it will arrive before you know it
This and That
I collect images that catch my eye like someone might collect salt shakers. Here is this weeks stash ~
Spring all year around, and as you may know, I am partial to colouring on walls
This is a beautifully played Tai Chi move called Fair Maiden Works the Shuttles, I don’t image the sculptor ever intended to depict this move but she did a good job of it
Down at Granville Island in Vancouver is a full blown cement business. Some one there has the creative touch. They paint their spinning cement trucks as twirling strawberries, corn and bunches of asparagus. They are a refreshing oddity as they drive around the city. Now they have dressed up their gravel silos. This creative must have been brought up by Sesame Street.
My friend took this photo from Bowen Island, she has an excellent eye for sun sets and sun rises
speaking of creatives, I love this guy’s way of seeing and thinking. Craig Frazier illustrator and designer and an out of the box, no …. off the charts imaginer.
So, I leave you with this ~ an excellent interpretation of maybe an overly informative sign ~ how would You read this sign?
Sign Play
These signs, pictures really, are meant to clearly instruct the ferry passengers.
But I’ve always challenged them.
for instance, this one. Why not just ….. Weeeeeeeeeeee!?
And this …
if I couldn’t read English I might think it means ‘Think only inside the box of your life and you are destined to just go up or go down.
you need to play with a full deck of cards, preferably 2, figuratively speaking of course.
and This car isn’t even Moving! If I was the sign maker I would draw a car in motion Almost about to run someone over because isn’t That what it’s Trying to say?
I have posted this one before but I alway am reminded by this simple sign, to Keep a Clear head, Keep relationships Clear of clutter, from both the past or future and to Keep a Clear heart. And I like that it’s a message to take in either way I am walking.
I never pay attention to this one, because I drive a standard. I would write: use your EMERGENCY Break! That would do the job and add a little drama to this dull sign. And this one here is just a cool colour and shape. And isn’t it saying Keep a Clear head as in, don’t panic?
and I know where I am running if the ferry ever starts to sink…. Down here! Right?!
Why Not
I was out for a walk on one of the last beautiful sunny crisp days of summer and I was quickly approaching a fork in the road where I could see a sign in a curious shape nailed to a tree.
Before I was close enough to read the sign I had to make a decision whether to take the road through the shady cool woods or to take the open sunny road.
I chose the sunny route
Ya … Why Not
