"Things you see in Powderhorn."
Few places know puddles better than the northwest corner of Powderhorn Park, especially after downpours like those of the past few days. And with puddles come mosquitoes. Fortunately, hungry dragonflies arrived for the feast.
"You're My Little Tomato"
"Amigos en el Parque"
"imaginal friend" These two might just be lucky they ended up inside the house on some dill l picked for a bouquet. A week later, they grew big enough to see & I've been looking after them ever since! One cocooned Friday night and the other likely will soon too. Wow, l have googled a lot about caterpillars & butterflies recently. Apparently, caterpillars develop "imaginal discs" that will become different butterfly parts as they dissolve their larva bodies inside the cocoon & build new insect bodies.
"Demtera's" Demtera Saloutos soaks in the sunshine at her booth at the Powderhorn Art Fair. She is a talented Metalsmith, a returning Powderhorn Art Fair artist, and so much fun to chat with!

"Powderhorn Night Out" On National Night Out, the street shuts down, allowing more room for communities to blossom, for neighbors to connect, for humans to bask in the fun of freedom. In our revelry, may we also recognize Toni Morrison's reminder of the responsibility in freedom, that "the function of freedom is to free somebody else".
