Hunting the Stegosaurus of Hartford
Did I ever mention that I have a teensy-weensy problem with obsession? You’re shocked, I bet. Well, after peering over the rock wall of Alexander Calder’s former home in Connecticut, I browsed the web to try to find places that his work was on public display.
That’s how I found myself riding in to downtown Hartford, Connecticut on a February day. I was hunting dinosaurs. Stegosaurus, to be exact. Stegosauruses? Stegosauri? Whatever. This thing:
Alexander Calder’s Stegosaurus
While I was walking the dog today, looking up at the sky – it made me smile to think that I’m still soft enough to see whales in the clouds, the Wolfman’s face in a tree burl or to enjoy the whimsy of a big red Stegosaurus.
What a beautiful February day ….isn’t there supposed to be snow?
We’ve gotten a few feet of it but thankfully there have been quite a few warm days sprinkled here and there and it didn’t hang around so long. A light dusting this morning which i’m hoping won’t amount to anything. Praying for no road salting. It’s going to be in the 60s this coming week, if you can believe that. C’mon, spring! 🙂
What happened to all of your wonderful snow!?
I was glad it was gone but We’ve gotten another dusting this morning. I just don’t want them to salt the roads again!
I love looking at clouds and seeing the wonderful collection of whimsical creatures there 🙂 Never loose that “softness”
I’ll do my best 🙂
BTW – nice feature on YouMotorcycle 🙂
aaw shucks
thanks 🙂
I’m glad you’re soft enough for that stuff, too, and willing to share it with fellow travelers. 🙂
