The Jafagirls gave me a guided walking tour of their textile art installations. Some of it is in this video montage, and some of it I had seen (and touched) before, but I had no sense of the scope of their project until they took me around the block, literally. I’ll have more to say about it. For now, I am thrilled that I don’t have to pine for street art in Paris (à la Miss Tic and the Ethics of Love). I can stroll anytime to the end of Dayton Street. It’s a perfect place for flânerie. Thanks, Corrine and Nancy!

Bald Eagles Nest At Eastwood Lake
April 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Naturalist at Large
Designed to bring a birds-eye view of these iconic raptors to the public, EagleCam is perched on a tower nearly 800 feet away from the Eagle’s nest. As the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act makes it illegal to disturb Bald Eagles in any way, EagleCam was planned to bring images of these amazing birds to the public in a safe way, providing unique access to Eagles in the wild.
Creating a Signature Yellow Springs Pasta Dish
March 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Creatives
Chefs from five Yellow Springs restaurants created a signature “Yellow Springs” pasta dish for last year’s “Spring Into The Arts” fete. In these recipes, saffron or cheddar cheese equal “Yellow” and rotini equal “Springs.” I can’t say this a culinary tradition here, but maybe it should become one. Don’t watch this video on an empty stomach! [thanks to beanyhead1]
Listening for The First Song of Spring
January 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Naturalist at Large
After 12 days of snow cover and subfreezing temperatures, I’ll take any sign I can get that spring will come. I heard it just before daybreak this morning in the song of a Carolina wren. It’s been around all year, of course, and I hear its call notes every day. But today it sang its strident territorial song for the first time this winter. It’s singing a week earlier than I expected.
