Good Wave



Earnest in frequency.
Unique in amplitude.
Deep and shallow together.
This is not the surfers wave.
This is the hard pounding wave that
makes sand out of rocks.
For beach walkers this is the fast and dangerous
wave. This wave comes up the beach fast
in a soft cotton disgise. It's heavy and it's strong.
Innocent white foam wraps around
ankles to drag the walkers down to Davey Jones Locker.
This is not good wave for shore dwellers.
It's a good wave for oceans collecting food.

Endless Village


This stuff is about 6inches to a foot high, or more or less.
Every shape is here, or going to be soon.
This is rapid evolution.
Calculus.

Pomponio Beach....Full Moons bring Spring Tides which bring Very High Tides.
Oceans as rough as mountains bring creamy waters.
The nautical churn pounds seaweed into thick whipping cream.

Be My Dada - Willow Tree Tipi

A song about a chosen lifestyle. Dada is the art world of Marcel Duchamp. In the 1910 Armory Show he changed the whole concept of art in modern times with his work in abstract painting and his "readymades" sculptures and movies. Dada is nearly indescribable but dada is a way of looking at things.

created recently by MandRand Band.

Flowering Dada Preview

A short view of a 40 minute flower and assorted plant life show. This one is of course, a little messed up with YouTube resolution etc. The long DVD version is a good background for a quiet time. Flowering Dada is just the thing for a little smooth something but not too much. Just enough to relax and drift away.

Milkmaid in a Nasturtium Bloom

A milk-maid in the heart of a nasturtium flower.
What modern art master could surpass this?
Artists are reflecting the perfections of pure form and light.
Another of what Marcel Duchamp called a "ready-made", this one found in nature.
Dada is the art that is everywhere.

Green Architecture at MandRand

Winter and Spring views of the willow tepee.
Click on the images for a larger view.


SPRINGTIME TEPEE
The willow cuttings grew roots and the Tepee leafed out into a living house. Morning Glories and Nastursiums
grow and complete the cover

WINTER TIME TEPEE
Just a pile of willow sticks that could be later covered with something for shade.
But surprise..........It covered it's self with the perfect fabric.....Leaves.


Tipi....Tepee....Teepee...It seems that all these ways of spelling it are used frequently so you pick your favorite.

(New note; Now it's August 4 and there are about 40 copies of the
CD behind sofa cushions, under car-seats and lost in piles of digital debris.)
