Yesterday morning I went to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, which is a sort of museum/zoo/botanical garden all rolled into one. It's well worth the trip, and I would have loved to have spent more time there. One of my favorite exhibits was a walk-in aviary. While there, I managed to snap this pic of a Northern Flicker, and I thought of a poem by Paul Klee (at least I think it's by Paul Klee; I've been unable to find it, even on the net, so this is from memory, and if the words are not exactly accurate I apologize):
What care the birds
All day long, contented,
They swing and sing
Perched on an ultimate end.

Do they still have a lizard exhibit out front? My kids were entranced by that many long years ago.
GREAT photograph.
Paul Klee the painter was a poet, too? Some people get all the DNA.

Yeah, and as if that weren't enough, he apparently also played the violin well enough so that lots of people would have paid to hear him play, but he decided to spend his time painting instead. I love Klee!

Your journal is always full of treasures... pictures, information about wonderful places you have visited. I am always ready for the next photo or weekend/vacation update.
