SHADOW PLAY

LOVELY MORNING

The city of Seattle closed all of the big parks for this Easter weekend to discourage folks from gathering, which included Lincoln Park.  Yesterday we took our walk in Fauntleroy Park and afterwards I drove by Lincoln Park to see what was going on.  I was surprised to see a few walking in the park and no police or park officials monitoring, which we were told they would be.

So, this morning I went early to Lincoln Park and had a great quiet walk.  There were a few people, but not many.  I felt a little guilty.

AFTERNOON AT CINCINNATI ART MUSEUM

What do you do in a strange town during a torrential rain storm?

Go to the Art Museum!

This is my first visit to Cincinnati Art Museum and I feel kinda guilty because I'm going without Darrell.  We didn't put this art museum on our list of things to do while we were here because their recent major exhibit closed just a few days ago and they were under construction and a lot of the areas would be closed.  So, I figured I'd just make a quick run through, not expecting to see much of anything...

Boy, was I wrong.  It's a great museum, even when it's only partially open!

They have a lot of great paintings, sculptures and furniture on permanent display.  I was overwhelmed.

I had to text this picture of the tsubas to Darrell - he is very interested in tsubas.  Then I just took some shots of things I thought he'd like, and I got a little crazy taking pictures of shadows....
