If we look for them….

Friday Night Art Walk
First Friday Art Walk is a monthly self-guided walking tour that celebrates creativity, culture, and community in Downtown Fort Collins on the first Friday of each month from 6 – 9 pm. From fine to funky, First Friday Art Walk showcases a spectrum of artistic styles to entertain and engage amateurs and art aficionado of all ages, interests and backgrounds. The website says 22 venues partake in it. Some are art galleries serving snacks, drinks and musicians and some are the local bars. This past Friday I made a trip down to Old Town because my friend Don Thurn was playing. In this image he is playing Starry, Starry Night by Don McClean at the Walnut Creek.
This store is a great place to buy and sell unique jewelry, repurposed furniture, boutique clothing, vintage goods and a plethora of other knick-knacks and handcrafted gifts, representing about 80 local artists. If you can think of it I bet you could find in there. 🙂

Silly Weather
Taken on the bus and one of the most common scenes I find on the bus or on campus. Love the light on her face.
We had a wonderful weekend, warm and sunny. But, it’s cold and overcast this morning. Looking like a fall day rather than spring day. Rightly so as we are expecting a winter storm over the next three days. Rain starting later today and turning to snow through the night. They say it will linger for a few days, bringing a snow and rain mix with temperatures at the freezing mark. I’m okay with the moisture but prefer the mid 40’s temperatures. I think I’ve mentioned that before. I saw this morning a prediction of 3-7 inches of snow and I suspect it will be wet and heavy snow. So you may see another winter scene or two posted. Stay warm!

Available
I found this
cutelittle 0 bedroom, 1 bath tiny home that was available for sale. It would be quite the task to downsize to this unit so I think I’ll keep my condo. -
Spiral
It’s about time to get back on my bicycle after a long hiatus due to lack of energy, then surgery and recovery and now the weather is getting nice again. I’m now at a local coffee shop while I have some work done on my car. Seems it needs surgery, also. This image is one of the unique bicycle racks around town. Some are truly pieces of art.
It looks like I will have surgery on my left on May 8th then the right eye on June 4th. I had some difficulty with insurance but that is all straightened out. I will be flying to Phoenix on May 10th to celebrate my parents 70th anniversary.
