A Thanksgiving story

About two decades ago, I walked into a Whole Foods supermarket to buy some olives and some Manchego cheese. As I strolled by Whole Foods' fantastic deli, I noticed that in this store they had signs in both English and Spanish.

I almost died laughing when I saw how the Thanksgiving turkey special had been translated! In English, the word "turkey" is the same for the country that spans Europe and the Middle East and for the Thanksgiving bird.

But in Spanish, the word for the country Turkey is Turquia, and the word for the bird is "pavo."

Guess what this store was selling as their Thanksgiving bird? Turquia! What a bunch of turkeys...

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Woman Bored by Abstraction - by F. Lennox Campello 2021

One of the cool things of working with embedded electronic components that sample and show images from the Internet, is that the sampling can be focused on essentially any theme... thus the above painting, which samples famous (and some not so famous - yet) abstract works from the web... such as above and below...

... can be reprogrammed/reloaded to any subject - such as below, where it is now transformed into A Woman Bored by Superheroes!

Second Annual Chevy Chase Art Fair

 Just back from strolling on this gorgeous day through the Second Annual Chevy Chase Art Fair, a smallish, but very nice outdoor art fair currently though Sunday at the small walking square in front of Bloomingdales at the corner of Wisconsin and Bradley in Chevy Chase. 

Details here.

I walked the fair, as there's a lot of nature photography, paintings, some very cool glass and some fabric artists.

Best in show?

An elegant photograph by Santa Cruz photographer Andrew Butler titled "Watchful Eye", which is not only superbly textured by being presented in a very interesting and fitting form, floated in an antique and equally textured window frame, but also a photo with a wide range of inherent textures itself - go see what I mean tomorrow!

Watchful Eye by Andrew Butler

You can contact the photographer here - and go see the show! Outdoors and free and on tomorrow until 5PM.
