Glasses in a row


These are three glasses that I have lined up with "wine" in them. The opaque liquid prevents the refraction that happens with clear water.

In this age of computer everything, I grab my Iphone to get correct spellings of words. First I tried the instant message and it came up with Open Me then I went to Siri- same problem. I then went to the dictionary that is 45 years old. Waa La. Opaque! Oh is waa la correct??

UW buildings and bikes




 Here is another contrast in old and modern building on the UW campus. The one above is just a class room  and again lots of bikes. The side facing towards Prixeys Pasture (east) is interesting and the side facing the street is just another building.  And again bikes-- easy cheap transportation. They have no bike/walk zones on some of the side walks around Prixey's and I could understand why when a student zoomed past me.


 I liked the repeating circular patterns in this photo.Almost captured it with out students.


From the same location of the modern circular building is the one above and below. I walked less than 50 fee.  Love the dormer windows and the stone. Beautiful architecture.


Oh and more bikes

Oil on water again


Similar to the previous post with bubbles in a different position.

And once again I have been fighting passwords- a necessary evil in this world. All because I want to be able to post from my phone if I am away from my house internet.  I am in nuts-ville figuring out gmail name and password (seldom use the account)- or blog email and password. Did get into the blog on my phone but today's post that was saved I could not access. Okay back to the computer. Grrr.  I can schedule a post for a specific time and day, but if the computer is not on the internet it will not post. So there may be days in the future when I go out playing in my motor home that you will not get a daily post.

Oil and water


This is a oil on water with colored paper below for the colors. What I found with the oil is that it likes to stick to gather into one large blob and I had to stir it and wait until it moved to a good composition. What is interesting some of the small bubbles picked up the flowers on the paper.  Need to find a glass pan that doesn't have Pyrex stamped in the middle of it.

Just found a glitch in the way the photos are viewed. I had checked to see if this post was on the blog and it didn't show up in my search. This is going to get interesting as I go through the year.
