I recommend PBS Passport for some great programs: PBS shows(USA), Masterpiece Theater(British) & European shows(Walter Presents). A favorite: "Cold Summer," Italian, a police detective who hangs out in art galleries & reads books!

I don't go to the movie theater very often. But I read the book "Project Hail Mary" and I think I'll go see the movie. I'm very curious to see how Rocky the Alien is portrayed.

This is a Cooper's hawk. They are common in the Sonoran Desert. Hawks are raptors, which means they are predatory birds. (They eat other birds). I feed birds in the morning, mainly mourning doves. When a hawk shows up, the doves disappear asap. Cooper's hawks are my favorite.

Here is a small work (9"x12"), "Silver Agave," that I dropped off at Tohono Chul Botanical Garden shop today. I have one of these lovely plants in my front yard. The lighter blue background is some of my handmade paper. FYI: Agave makes very good tequila and mescal.

My original linocut print was rejected by an exhibit organizer because there's a lot of children potentially attending the exhibit. It was rejected because there's a nude woman portrayed. Sigh. Eve. First woman. No clothes. Duh! The last time I tried to post this, BlueSky rejected it for nudity.
