First, here's a photo of the gazebo work being done at Lake Tomahawk. Thanks to Elizabeth Swan photographer.

And another artist at work... "Critical Race Theory" by Jonathan Harris.
If you've noticed a lot of confrontational pieces here, it's because that's the life we're all living today. I like how Rockwell says so much about the loss felt by these women.
This is my Facebook Cover Photo.
"To stand with Palestine is to be human," she explained. Needless to say, it also means to be criminalized. Greta Thunberg among a group arrested today in Copenhagen. As always she is on the right side of history
San Marco, Venice by Giuseppe Marastoni
I ache so bad, the pain of compassion for the innocents in Gaza, it's just a tiny drop of the incredible suffering they're enduring. Definitely Hamas must pay for it's atrocities. But Israel needs to give the normal people some consideration also. I'm a pacifist. I hate all war, but this powerful heavy handed attack against sneaky terrorists is the worst.
What kind of future do any of them think they will have?

OK, here's something that is beautiful (in my opinion) and uplifting.

Today's quote:
Life cannot be classified in terms of a simple neurological ladder, with human beings at the top; it is more accurate to talk of different forms of intelligence, each with its strengths and weaknesses. This point was well demonstrated in the minutes before last December's tsunami, when tourists grabbed their digital cameras and ran after the ebbing surf, and all the 'dumb' animals made for the hills.

Love the bee video! Greta is standing up for her beliefs. Imagine Peace, if only there were no wars. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you here this morning, a bit later than usual! Hope you were out having a great morning walk!
Delete...Barbara, you hit on so many emotions today!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, and I didn't even mention Ukraine. I'm glad to have read some Russian bots have been caught while giving disinformation to Facebook and other social media.
DeleteSo much to think about and worry about and agonize about-and all worthy. Thank you for the bee video as a pleasant ending!
ReplyDeleteOne does need to acknowledge all the evils, and balance the experience with something soothing. I'm sorry to have so many negative things in mind today.
DeleteHumans do make messes.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they do. Mmm, are you thinking of becoming another species perhaps? A nice furry cat for instance. I am looking forward to a Caturday post.
DeleteHumans do mess up the world. Will it ever get sorted, probably not in our lifetime.
ReplyDeleteSolid post- Greta is a champion, no doubt, of course she would stand up for Palestinians! Though Israel fails to admit intentional genocide and land grab, it is obvious . Same with Putin, though he is getting more flack than Israel, because... history (guilt).
ReplyDeleteWhite washing -so accurate.
Bees - tiny miracles- how do those tiny wings support all of that bee?
The update on the gazebo work at Lake Tomahawk looks promising—thanks for sharing the photo by Elizabeth Swan!
ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing to see a mix of art from different perspectives, from Banksy’s thought-provoking pieces to Jonathan Harris's “Critical Race Theory” and Norman Rockwell’s poignant reflections on loss. The range of confrontational and meaningful art pieces truly captures the complexities of today’s world.
Greta Thunberg’s activism is a powerful reminder of standing up for what’s right, despite the consequences. And Giuseppe Marastoni’s depiction of San Marco in Venice adds a beautiful touch of classic artistry to the mix.
Hi, wishing you a happy weekend. I just shared a new post please read: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/09/how-to-style-prepreworks-stretchy-slim-round-neck-knit-vest.html.
Any war is bad. I wonder what happened if you put the "leaders" eye to eye. Look at Putin, hiding and having his food and drinks tested-such a coward. Taking husbands and fathers and sons, brothers away from their families to fight FOR him cause he is afraid.
ReplyDeleteAnd with Autumn/Winter on sight... wish the PEOPLE would talk to each other. Afghanistan, Hamas, it is unbearable and then I say "eww I have to do the taxes". I am ashamed...
I love the bees!
ReplyDeleteI just saw Greta on the morning news! She is amazing.
The horrible wars have got to stop.
