a bit more on Milwaukee
I could fill page after page with images of Milwaukee and continue to shine light on its beauty. I could reveal Milwaukee's textures in winter, spring, summer and fall. But what you wouldn't see are its people: their intelligence and warmth.
And as I post these photos: a scarlet cardinal brightening the winter landscape, Milwaukee's art museum designed by Santiago Calatrava, and a bunch of bushes that look to me like cupcakes, I'm thinking, Santa Barbara grows oranges the size of grapefruits; Milwaukee raises people with large and generous hearts.

Roger,
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for your kind words and for your insights. Guadi was a genius! Of a realm not touched before or since. It would be beyond wonderful to loose one's self in the magnitude of such beauty, but in the words of Garth on SNL, my small camera isn't worthy.

That is a very idyllic photo of the Cardinal.

Thanks for sharing!
Hello Joe,
ReplyDeleteHow nice it is to see that you are enjoying my prior posts.
I'd never seen a cardinal until I spent time in the Mid-West. They are glorious creatures. And yes, that's one thing you can guarantee about the East, you surely need a snow shovel :)
Be Well Joe, ~ Aneet
