Where I've been and what I've learned along the way…
A TED presentation by Siegfried Woldhek. Two of the four faces are already commonly held to be da Vinci (one as a child, one as an old man). Woldhek does some interesting comparisons to tease out other possible self-portraits, including the iconic Vitruvian Man.
A comment on the TED website points out a fifth likeness, a statue of Leonardo at the Uffizi in Florence, Italy.
I caught this Barred Owl (Strix varia) just as he flew up from having a bath in the lake. His feathers were still wet and he spent about ten minutes preening and drying out in the early morning sun. Beautiful!
Walking in my old Moline Ill neighborhood, I came across this sidewalk slogan…
When I grow up I want to be a Vet, Artist, or a WWF Star.
Kids these days!
