You asked for it! My Photos of the Month are back!
This January’s photo is a view from the historic Picket Post Mansion, which overlooks Boyce Thompson Arboretum. It was open for a rare public tour this January, and we jumped at the chance to peek inside!
Runners up:
I also considered either a photo from the Women’s March or the travel ban protest, partly because they are part of this moment in time. However, even though both rallies were positive experiences, they were in response to things I feel are very wrong. Which may be why looking at them makes me feel a bit agitated, while the landscape of the Arboretum makes me feel peaceful.
PS Speaking of photos, you still have time to share the love by tweeting/instagramming pics of art* from your community with hashtag #localartloves!
*Or an art space!
That first shot is stunning. How much I would want to visit that place. It has a charm about it.
It definitely does!
Wow, I love these photos. That mansion shot… it’s breath-taking.
I am so with you on the push/pull of those moments. Reflecting on them sometimes makes me feel the anger all over again.
Yes, exactly.
Gorgeous shot of the mansion! I especially love it, as I gaze outside at snow as far as the eye can see! So glad you’re doing these posts again. Oh, and I just got another shot I can share and hashtag – I’m off to Twitter!
Thanks for all your encouragement and for joining in with the #localartloves! I’m glad your crow stopped by in time to participate!
Both photos are stunning. I love the view of the mansion and the expanse behind it, and I love the sign centered in the protest picture, the peace, the feeling of taking action against things about which you disagree heartily. I love them both!
Excellent photos.
