Found Gold!

There's a good reason to take your dog for a walk on a cold winters day - aside from the fact that Joxer loves to get out and sniff around and pee everywhere. We went for another walk down by the Housatonic river and I found a gold coin. You just never know what's gonna wash up along the shore. Lot's of plastic bottles, a dolls head, all different types of balls, driftwood, etc... Then out of the corner of your eye, there it is, something sparkles in the weak winter sun. You pick it up, and sure enough, it's plastic. I did find a real gold coin once in downtown Bridgeport.

Down by the River

Remember that Neil Young song? It got a little warmer yesterday (40s), so I took a walk down by the nearby Housatonic river. Brought my camera with me but I didn't take any good shots. I did find a couple of pieces of driftwood that had washed up that I'll be able to do something with. I've always had an interest in architecture and use some of these pieces as a starting point for structure-like sculptures.
