My birdbath is an unexpected treasure, there is always a painting within a painting in the water, every time I move, there are different reflections and colors, some last for only a step or two.
The line between art and life is always blurry where I live, this simple bird bath is a font of imagery and color and feeling. It helps that it lives in the middle of a flourishing garden.

Maria usually makes her movies on Mondays, but we were thrown off by the holiday so she did her weekly video (she actually does a number of weekly videos) this morning. She wakes up thinking about the video – she is a visual artist, after all – and then goes over to the Ed Gulley bench on the back porch to edit and review it.
There is usually a cat or dog hovering around her, Maria is an animal magnet. They know where to go. I call this her Greta Garbo look, she is completely immersed in her movie and takes it very seriously. This morning, she caught me singing from the kitchen ) the “Minnie” song.
Maria loves making these movies, people love seeing them, the routinely gets several thousand hits on Facebook. Come and see Maria’s movie.
