It's "Forget About It" Friday...
If you thought you were sitting here, then forget about it!!
Couch is fully occupied by Timber and Shadow...lol
Was actually slightly grey
Darker around the edges
A definite tinge
A flirtatious curve at the bottom
As if daring you to imagine something
Transform it into a different existence
It’s texture was surprising
Smooth and soft like the very top
Of a snowy slope
But hung indoors
It reflected onto the black linoleum floor that was speckled
With unpredictable dashes of white
When you looked down
You imagined
You were floating in a
Modern art galaxy very far away
From everything and everyone
You know
When you looked up you realized
It wasn’t a blank canvas at all.

In May, I went to a doctor's appointment that was very difficult for me. Most of the time, I try to forget about my biology but my heart will often skip beats and I keep spending more money to get no answers, making me wonder if it's just in my head.
I have been living in Chicago for over 20 years but I had never come across The Arts Club of Chicago even though it is located very central downtown near a couple of doctor's offices. It was a dreary day and I spent some time wandering around and happened upon this gallery featuring the exhibit by Huguette Caland: Bribes de corps. It's amazing how art finds you when you least expect it. I found myself staring at canvases and writing poems to calm my nervous system.
This exhibit is ending very soon but I revisited this weekend. The bottom section is the actual canvas. The top portion is a multiple exposure of the canvas and a photograph of a woman passing by from the window opposite of the painting.

The common name, Forget Me Not, comes from a German legend about a knight who died trying to get the flowers for his lover and called out with his last breath, “Forget me not!”. The Greek name, Myosotis, means mouse's ear because the oval, furry leaves resemble a mouse's ear.
Sometimes you will do anything to forget. Forget the past, forget everything just to having nothing on your mind.

Just some forget me nots, growing like weeds in my garden ... but I still love them :)
The only thing I've added here is a single, pressed, forget-me-not flower. Yes, I confess, this is another recent addition to my collection of miniatures. I just don't seem to be able to resist pastels these days. :)

Down along the Grasse river is an area normally underwater but this year it's "dry" and the water replaced by a carpet of these growing in the moist soil,
Apparently the heat wave is going to come tomorrow and the temperature at inland would rise to triple digits. I was checking the news about the beaches. Apparently the county authorities of San Mateo and Santa Cruz are going to shut them down this weekendq for fear of overcrowding. So no beach to escape the heatwave folks.
