That's the exact stance that any educational establishment, worhty of the name of school, should take. Good on them !

For the first time in a long time, I digitally colored in art I had created in analog. I can express more information in color and give that information to the public. It is a wonderful thing.

Most of us watch the Moon at night. But the Moon spends nearly as many daylight hours above our horizon, though in bright daytime skies the lunar disk looks pale and can be a little harder to see. Of course in daytime skies the Moon also appears to cycle through its phases, shining by reflected sunlight as it orbits our fair planet. For daytime moonwatchers, the Moon is probably easier to spot when the visible sunlit portion of the lunar disk is large and waxing following first quarter or waning approaching its third quarter phase. And though it might look unusual, a daytime moon is often seen even in urban skies. Captured here in a telephoto snapshot taken on March 12, a waxing daytime Moon is aligned near the edge of a popular observation deck that overlooks New York City's borough of Manahattan.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist palette which provides the meaning of life and art.

It is the color of love.

The spring stems of the pussywillow plant. The flowers are puffy and white and line the stems like pompoms. Amongst the flowers are tiny cats of the same colors who have tails that mimic the pussywillow flowers perfectly.
