A journal lies open on a wooden surface with a pen laid across its pages, holding it open. It rests in front of an open laptop, with a blank page on its screen, awaiting fresh words. A white mug, a small personal tea pot, and a vase with a modest bundle of flowers & leaves sit to the right.

A street-view of the vividly colorful & joyful Umbrella Sky Project in Águeda, Portugal, as part of the annual Ágitagueda Art Festival. An endless “ceiling” of open umbrellas, in a rainbow of bright colors, are closely strung together and suspended between buildings, shading the pedestrian street below from the heat of the summer sun. Various people are seen strolling or sitting beneath the installation.

Apr 28, 2022

A man kneels on a sidewalk next to a homeless man, engaging him and an orange kitten in his arms. The homeless man seems amused by the man holding the kitten. Next to the homeless man is an open carry-out container with some partially eaten food, the spoon now resting in it. He also has a sign that says: “A lil helps a lot! Thank you! God Bless! Prayers please!”
