Arts and vegetables

We go to the farmer’s market today for the first time. It is hot, and I buy three peaches, three zucchinis, baby bok choy, and a giant purple onion.

We then slog through the heat for our little Riverside museum day.

The Riverside Municipal museum has stuffed birds, an orange packer, and a display on the internment of a local Japanese family during the war.

In the Riverside Art Museum, I run across this and can actually feel my life being enriched. I am not an art connoisseur by any means, but as they say, “I know what I like.” And oh yes I do like “The Curious World of Reynaldo and His Twist of Lime Shirt” by R. Mike Nichols. It’s the bird. Curt likes the dogs, but he is wrong, for it’s most certainly the bird. For those who prefer art that doesn’t include dogs and birds, the museum is also currently displaying pieces by some fellow who paints with coffee grinds and glitter.

The UCR Museum of Photography has a very shiny first floor, as can be seen. We see an exhibit of photographs by blind photographers and a camera museum on the first floor, and an exhibit on the effects of Agent Orange on the third floor. The pseudo-tiling on the second floor (which is see-through and creaks) is suspect, thus I am too frightened to venture far into it. So I don’t know what’s on the second floor. Something about expectation. Or construction. Or deconstruction. Or maybe unicorns.

Tomorrow we go to Long Beach for fun antiquing. Happy Sunday. ;)
