Black Cat Gray Squirrel

 Black Cat Gray Squirrel

A limerick and that's all.

Enjoy!

On a pleasant November afternoon, these two beauties were caught posing on a stump strategically placed within Gramercy Park in downtown Manhattan. While the black cat (being inanimate) could not move, the other (gray squirrel) most certainly could, but chose not to, posing patiently for several minutes. Definitely deserving a peanut.

Tree Amputee

 Tree Amputee

A limerick and that's all.

Enjoy!

A very large, old and quite contorted European beech tree spotted in the Boston Public Garden during a recent visit to downtown Boston. Having survived a drastic surgical procedure, this grande dame appears to be missing half of her trunk. Nevertheless, she flourishes, still providing shade, foliage and beauty within the first botanical garden in the United States.

Ode to Hoot Owl

 Ode to Hoot Owl

A limerick, a tune and currently a work in progress.

Inspired by autumn night walks with barred owl serenades. Sometimes a solo performance. Often a call and response. Whatever the mix, always a listening delight.

Blues for Bombus

 Blues for Bombus

Currently a work in progress.

A standard twelve-bar instrumental blues tune composed and performed by Kitty Allen on pedal harp, flutes, keyboard and laptop. Inspired by and dedicated to a hardworking bumblebee spotted pollinating a marigold during a beautiful October afternoon.

A haiku and that's all.

Enjoy!

Inspired by this large multi-colored deteriorating leaf found along a rural CT road during a country walk on the day before official arrival of fall. Unfortunately, it was positioned quite close to a dead gray squirrel (no photo available).
