One of the lessons I learned from our blogging through the 23 Things was that I miss using my creative side. I love the visual arts and dabbled in art projects many moons ago. This exercise was right up my alley. I could get mesmerized doing this stuff. I tried them all and was disappointed I could not show everyone my creations. I did a fair rendering of a Picasso like portrait with mrpicassohead
I was intrigued and playful with the snowflake exercise (soon we'll be watching the snow fall!) Snowflake Maker
I did the string art--much fun with that-- String Spin
By far I had the most fun with sand art; it reminded me of the Etch a Sketch I used to love combined with lava lamps that so fascinate me. Much fun.
Falling Sand
I especially liked the falling sand exercise; I used different colors and the sand spilled over my sketch. You can tell I really really liked it.
Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.
Thing 10 was created from BlinkYou.com
I have edited this caption since I decided to keep it on my blog as an early attempt in Thing 10 to post image generators. It was very frustrating until I got the hang of doing this. I have played around with re-sizing image generators, removing them if too big, moving them around my blog. Alas, I sort of like this one because of liking cats and butterflies. So I will leave it here. I am still learning as I go on.
Barbaro on You Tube
This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:
