Heart

I've been having a lovely weekend, starting with the fact that I received my certification in CPR and First Aid yesterday.  That prompted me to think about the anatomy of the heart again, which led me to think about one of the phrases I almost used for the Illuminated Phrase project, which led me to start another project.  

I'm going to incorporate the phrase into the finished piece, I have my idea pretty much sketched out.  I can't wait until it's all put together and I can post the finished product.  

Also, I'd like to share this photo I snapped on my way to work recently - I'm so lucky to be able to bike to work on a pedestrian path that follows the dry river bed.  I've seen a coyote or two down there before, but on this particular day I saw three traveling down the sandy river bottom at a quick trot.  They were weaving in  and out of the brush, almost gliding along.  You can only see one in this photograph, but he/she is pausing to wait for the other two to emerge from the scrubby bushes.  

I see so much wildlife along the path - rabbits, prairie dogs, hawks, even an occasional tarantula - sometimes I forget that I'm still in the city!
