comment image 11 april 2014 by oceankin wanderer street art last sunday a local side street was blocked off navigating around the neighborhood i discovered that four blocks were barricaded radiating out from a specific intersection there are several events annually hosted by the city community businesses and clubs and including everything from street parties and runs to bike races and large scale picnics it looked as though an event was going to pass by on the way to from down town the surprise came after being out of town for most of the day and returning to see sandwich board hurdles still cordoning the streets looking closer showed a few people on their knees in the middle of the intersection hmmmm walking to work monday morning i detoured slightly to pass through that area wow lots of bright color fresh paint with no road dirt to speak of the gold in the center is a man hole cover it s colorful crop circle legal grafitti in the middle of the road posted in bonsai tagged crop circle graffiti street art 2 comments image 1 april 2014 by oceankin wanderer on the threshold we ve been getting some much needed rain perhaps food prices won t be quite so bad this year after all in any event this morning i m in a liminal space looking out the west windows it is overcast with patches of blue to the south is another matter it is raining and the heavy dark clouds covering the sky promise more moisture i sit here not having to water the bonsai and other little trees watching rain out one window and none out another on the line between at the intersection of both and neither in the gap where yes and no meet it s pretty cool posted in the home front tagged bonsai clouds gap rain threshold leave a comment image 25 march 2014 by oceankin wanderer theater props jar o flies the show closed sunday always bitter sweet it was a lot of fun a terrific cast and a big learning curve there is something to forget during every performance during this run it seemed like opening and closing the window curtains was the big problem for me such a simple but big thing it mattered more than other things like replacing the bottle of jack daniel s in the buffet because of our fireworks effects keep the curtains open except for act ii when the fireworks go off it s all in the lighting this show was different for me because i was off stage i handled most of the props thanks to ucd theater dept davis musical theater co l street furniture and yolo spca thrift store for help with that this photo is one of my favorites fifty cent jar from the thrift store with bits of black cloth on string taped to the lid just what it looks like here but from the audience it looked like a bunch of flies flying around inside the jar pretty cool eh another simple thing but i feel kinda proud of it i ll get a photo of the watermelon i made from couch foam and post that next thanks to marie petersen dmtc for tips on making fake foods cheers posted in bonsai tagged davis musical theater company

for the hiatus in december i got a part time job whew the sedentary nature of graduate studies left behind for load that barge tote that bale frenetic activity there has been a bit of an adjustment period complicated by the holidays low grade illness lasting awhile being props manager for a local community theater and a brand new second illness that considering how tired i already was knocked me on well took a lot out of me last year at this time i had been repotting bonsai and traveling through australia kayaking and hiking going to weekend bonsai shows what a difference a year can make i love my job it keeps me fairly busy and is different every day the group of young people i work with are overall friendly and nice supportive and encouraging and a lot of fun they re nice to their resident old lady i ate my share of girl scout cookies but having purchased in two communities was surprised to discover that there was 1 difference in box prices wonder what s up with that my next planned adventure is an aikido seminar at the end of may not sure if i ll be back in shape but i m going a good friend is testing for san dan third black belt my super ultra megawatt totally awesome news is that of my four friends who last year battled cancer all four are cancer free the year has been an unusual so far i wonder what the other three quarters will bring i hope all of you are having

image 1 january 2014 by oceankin wanderer happy new year this is one of my favorite photos from the year so i want to share it with all of you who read my blog as a small thank you for your support it was taken from the back patio of my friends ann and rick house many thanks to all of my friends who are so dear i also chose this photo for its quality of light in reflecting on the winter holy day s season i am reminded that all of the winter holy days are in some regard related to light the season to me reflects on light as a focus for hope hope for ourselves for our community and our world hope for the future the nature of this hope is that things will get better improve better for the individual the community the world the future the second aspect that i see inherent in the holy days this time of year is that there is some effort required some sacrifice to make even if it is only in the form of trust or believing faith we are to give something of ourself of our community in order that growth of the light and hope may come to pass thirdly is rememberance looking back to when something important something miraculous happened we are asked to remember what sacrifices were made in the past and the hope of our forebearers and those things that have brought us to where we are now as individuals community and world we are their future i wish for each of you my readers and everyone else too these aspects of the season light to fuel hope willingness to take action toward that perpetuating that hope and the memory of what our ancestors hoped for and believed in for all of us hope for the future for individuals communities world and the memory that we are all here together hoping for all of us may the peace and beauty love and hope sacrifice and memory of the season be with you today all year and into the future posted in bonsai tagged community friendship future holiday holy day hope light friends love memory miracle peace sacrifice world 2 comments image 23 december 2013 by oceankin wanderer trip to the bay for our holiday meeting this year my cousin and i met in alameda ca and had two days in neverland you know nicely packed with hardly any room between one adventure and another jm barrie first a jaunt up to richmond to see the rosie the riveter wwii heritage monument there s a lot more going on there besides just rosie as if that wasn t enough the sight speaks to a large area of growth in us history the rosies racial and gender discrimination issues naval mutiny and other naval history industrial growth and health care we spent longer there than intended and ended up in traffic on our way back to the hotel the next day we drove into san francisco and spent hours along the waterfront a dream for me was getting out to fort point the oldest us military site in ca i was sad to find it fenced and bricked off maybe some day i ll find a way to see the inside after seeing the sights and watching waves break we headed to oakland and the golden state bonsai collection north it s at lake merritt the photo is a persimmon styled and donated by my friends vince and kathy owyoung the tree is about 3 feet tall unfortunately we only got through about half of the collection because they close at 3 the docent was sweet giving us an extra ten minutes sadly my cuz and i only had the two days this year and there were lots of things on our to do list that we
