So much color in late April tulips at 43 degrees north The margins along this walkway to the front door of the house goes through many incarnations: daffodils and snowdrops to start, then tulips, and then the long weeks of summer it is zinnias that color the curving pathway.

Soundscape 2 at "Border Cantos - Sound Borders" exhibit Also from the final days of the special exhibition at the GRAM (Grand Rapids Art Museum) featuring the long project by Richard Misrach (photographer) and Guillermo Galindo (musical instrument builder and composer/performer) to document scenes, textures and light, and lives along the Mexico-USA border, in some cases with wall barriers and other places patrolled by high and low-technology methods. This video clip focuses on an instrument fashioned from a resonator body and strings tuned by inserts made of vertebrae and scarp wood in the pattern of East Asia zithers, named (2012) "huesocordio" [bone chords].

Red turbans bobbing in the April lunchtime breeze With roots in Turkey, the bright flowers of the tulip bulb thrilled Dutch buyers of the 1600s, leading to "tulip fever," wild speculation on horticulture futures that crashed and left some in poverty. From the Dutch word Tulpen (for 'turban') comes the English pronunciation of Tulip. Whatever it is called and how it may be pronounced, the color is intense in any case. Just as a rose by any other name smells as sweet, so too of the vivid colors of tulips: no matter its moniker, the visual delight is unchanged.

Making little birch trees begins with the catkins At this cool bright noon hour the tiny flowers of the birch sway in the breeze, getting ready to bring pollen and flower together to form seeds that will scatter and sprout in some cases.

Published poems of many pages on display Although rap music has many fans, amateurs and professionals who make one kind of poetry, the kind found in these books on the tables have no rhythm section to accompany them. The average English-speaking person in 2024 may have lyrics they love in musical form, but relatively few read poetry books and ever fewer write it. So naming April as "national poetry month" the word-smithing gains visibility and maybe, too, it attracts new practitioners.

Geometry in yellow and black The coffee station of the cafe is at the ready to brew and pour countless more mugs to the tastes of diners. After mid-morning the weekday breakfast rush has died down and the lunch wave is yet to come. So, at the moment all is calm where the coffee comes from.

Sweeping view above the Veterans Cemetery In the contrasty light of early morning this recording turns from the I-96 traffic around to the east where the morning sun sends out light and then to the rolling graveyard's south view and finally coming to rest with the view to the west.
