 [This new poem-painting "I Know an Owl" (2 images, 1 with text above), has a different poem from the
National Parks Contest
 "The Unnamed Roads of Water-world". ]

We have a new baby owl at our
wonderful Tallahahassee Museum's
 animal rehabilation center.
Plus the Poem relates to I Heard the Owl Call My Name which I re-read recently as part of my visual arts
mentoring work with local students at
 FSU Schools with Eileen Lerner and Raa Middle School through Sam Thompson. Thanks Eileen and Sam!
 

The detail photo is of a little blue bird I copied from one of Mom's mother's collages to put in the painting in her memory.
 I started the painting on Mom's birthday.

 I hope you have a good Memorial Day weekend, too.
