A new planter bed at Don Davis park. One bed has the old bed's plants replanted, looking a bit sad and stressed. The two new beds are full of mulch but no plants yet. Photo by Robert Emond.

#PhotoADay: Day 106 of 365 - the transplanted plants are back in. New plants and seeds will be coming soon. So many bags of mulch to fill the beds. My back will be killing me tomorrow 😆.

A huge dark cloud hangs almost overhead, but it is sunny and blue above. The cloud is over mountains and the city of San Luis Obispo. The photo was taken while hiking up Cerro San Luis mountain, so a wide dirt trail is seen going up the edge of the mountain. Just ahead is a hiker in a white shirt and dark shorts. The sun is shining on the trail which contrasts with the dark cloud almost above.

Black and white image of a sculpture in the center of a traffic circle. The sculpture has one very large 4-sided spike coming up from the ground and culminates in a very sharp point. The spike is at an angle, creating a tension. Half way up the spike is a wire globe showing longitude and latitude lines and solids continents. The globe is split in have and shifted, so that one half is higher on the spike than the other half. The statue is made of metal, possibly stainless steel. Located in San Luis Obispo on Froom Creek Rd., California. Artist: Warren Hamrick

This sculpture is edgy. It's titled "Shift" by Warren Hamrick, depicting a fractured world which calls for unity and collective care.

Two female hikers are standing on a large boulder on the edge of Black Hill in Morro Bay. One has her arm up to shade her eyes as she looks out at the view below and beyond. Black hill has some eucalyptus trees, shrubs and rocks. In the distance is the Morro Bay National Estuary, and beyond are mountains. The sky is a hazy blue.

An semi-abstract drawing that is turned into a haiga. The picture shows a figure with two very long arms reaching up towards a ball that is made of a coiling wavy strand. The haiku reads:

hurt living in fear,
the world seems unbearable-
embrace love to live

Art by Josiah poem by Robert Emond.

Photo taken at the Outdoor Museum of Assemblage Art in Joshua Tree, California. The image is a close up capture of a black bowling ball with other balls out of focus and set in the distance. The artist, Noah Purifoy, created large scale abstract pieces of artwork from found or acquired mundane objects—thus the “assemblage” name given to his outdoor creative space. He was co-founder of The Watts Tower Art Center, attended CalArts, and since his death in 2004, some of his works have been taken from their desert space and shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Hammer Museum. The museum is a magical place and well worth the side trip if in the high desert area.

A photo of the Milky Way rising over the horizon, a faint glowing red light visible in the lower left portion of the photo. A tanka is written over the picture, it reads:

meteors streak in the night,
the sky stretches eternally
where does it end
to see the edge of eternity 
look inwards as well as outwards 

Poem and photo by Robert Emond.
