The eye of the tiger

 

 

Maya made this painting in art class at school. Nana bias aside, it's better than many things we've seen hanging in expensive galleries. 

It makes me think of William Blake's famous poem, "The Tyger," and his illustration from the book "Songs of Innocence and Experience." 

 

The blooming Fatsia japonica sure looked pretty in the November light yesterday. It's been been a wet and warm fall so far. 

 

That's about to change. Winter arrives next week with heavy snow in the mountains. Oh boy. Just in time for Thanksgiving travel.
