I love kindness, cats - including lions and tigers, etc., racing, travel, making cards, and New Mexico.

Today’s work doesn’t really inspire me, but has stuck in my mind for at least 15 years. Rubens’ Massacre of the Innocents that is in Munich, brings that horrifying scene into sharp focus, preventing it from fading into words on a page.

The Altar of the Lie in St. Peter’s spoke to me as it looks like a painting, but it is instead a mosaic. I expected that a mosaic would be a bit disjointed, but not here. The cerulean of the robes was so intense that it stayed with me.

This was PJ when we first got her. We had her for 17 years until she passed away. I miss her, but she was such a joy. ♥️

Michelangelo’s Bandini Pietà in Florence can’t compare to the delicacy of the Pietà in Rome, but it evokes a power not shown elsewhere. The fact that is a self portrait with Michelangelo’s face as Joseph, looking down at the scene,WOW!

Titian’s Assumption of the Virgin in Venice’s Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is achingly beautiful. The fact that it is still in the surrounds which it was designed to be in gives it even more impact.

@dancingmonk.bsky.social I learned about Ghiberti’s Doors of Paradise in high school; a long time ago. This was my primary drive to travel worldwide. I finally saw them and they are magnificent!

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.
From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

I am self imposing a social media ban on myself because the current situation is not only keeping me from getting to sleep but is also invading my sleep via nightmares. I need to take a break. I will miss all the good pictures and conversations; I hope to return soon. Hugs!
