Description from the Addison Gallery: "Early Morning on the Avenue in May 1917 belongs to a series of flag paintings that Frederick Childe Hassam created during World War I, between 1916 and 1919. Totaling nearly thirty canvases, the series constituted the artist’s last significant body of work. It demonstrates his vigorous brushwork, bright palette, and what the critics called his truly American interpretation of the French aesthetic of Impressionism. French Impressionists had recorded contemporary life, usually under bright, sunny spring skies. Hassam was also interested in capturing weather conditions: Early Morning on the Avenue is distinct in the series for its overall whiteness, the brilliancy of the hue transforming the cloudless blue sky to a pearly white and bleaching the buildings and sidewalks to opalescent tones. The flag paintings, however, were not just about weather and light. They were begun in response to the flag displays and parades that were organized in New York City as part of the war effort. Hassam was a patriot and an ardent Anglophile, and he used these paintings to demonstrate his support for the Allies. Color and light therefore took on a metaphorical significance, the pervasiveness of white in Early Morning on the Avenue suggesting purity and the righteousness of the Allied cause. https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ap_supreme_court_jt_120928_wg.jpgap_supreme_court_jt_120928_wg2019-04-01T10:02:01+00:00monthlyhttps://timpanogos.blog/2019/03/28/happy-birthday-john-tyler-b-march-29-1790/https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/638px-tyler_daguerreotype_28restoration29.jpg638px-tyler_daguerreotype_28restoration29President John Tyler, daguerreotype portrait taken circa 1860, 15 years after his presidency ended; Library of Congress image2019-03-30T08:06:52+00:00monthlyhttps://timpanogos.blog/2012/04/06/bagleys-cartoon-on-criticizing-obamacare/https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bagley_0328120-obamacare-criticism-0406-2012-.jpgbagley_032812~0 ObamaCare criticism 0406 2012Criticism of ObamaCare.

These vast dunes are the largest in Idaho. They blanket an area approximately 35 miles long and 5 wide, and range from 50 to 500 feet high. These white quartz sand dunes are a unique and popular recreational area for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, hikers and equestrians. The best time to visit is spring through fall; summer temperatures cause sands to reach over 100 degrees. #Sunset photo by Bob Wick, Bureau of Land Management - Idaho.https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/11218535_10153038180619678_4859945574207559445_n.jpg11218535_10153038180619678_4859945574207559445_n2018-11-20T09:36:07+00:00monthlyhttps://timpanogos.blog/2018/11/19/leaving-hanksville/https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/tumblr_pi5iqc42md1r81c8do1_500.jpgHenry Mountains by Bob Wick, BLM tumblr_pi5iqc42md1r81c8do1_500Heading south from Hanksville, Utah, towards Lake Powell, highway travelers bisect the remote Henry Mountains – the last area mapped in the lower 48. The 11,000-foot forested peaks of the main mountain range rise to the west, while two distinctive summits, Mount’s Ellsworth and Holmes, jut skyward from the rolling red sandstone mesas to the east. Known as the “Little Rockies,” these peaks are studied by geologists around the world as a classic example of igneous rocks, formed deep within the earth’s mantle, thrusting through the overlying sandstone layers. The Little Rockies have been designated as a National Natural Landmark for their geological significance. The peaks also provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and numerous birds of prey.

Still just the shock of finding these little beauties in Dallas County adds to their splendor. Dogwoods do well in East Texas, where it is wetter and the soil is acid. Here on the escarpment it is generally dry, hotter, and the soil is thin and alkaline. That the blossoms show up at all is a stunning oddity, a stroke of fortune emblematic of the unique place that is Dogwood Canyon.https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-25-2012-import-744.jpg03-25-2012 import 744https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-25-2012-import-737.jpgDogwood blossom at Dogwood Canyon, Cedar Hill, Texas 03-25-2012 import 737 - Photo by Ed Darrell, use permitted with attributionThe dogwoods in bloom! An early spring, and lots of water, pushed the trees to leaf out before blossoming started -- usually the blossoms come first. The drought last year probably hurts blossoming this year. Blossoms are not yet at their peak.https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-25-2012-import-708.jpgDavid Hurt demonstrates how yellow-cheeked warblers use Ashe junipers to nest - 03-25-2012 import 708 - photo by Ed DarrellHurt showed how to make a nest from loose bark strips from Ashe juniper trees.

This Audubon facility sits in a transitional zone, between two kinds of prairies. It's forest nature is an oddity in the zone. Dogwood Canyon features plants more commonly identified with the Texas Hill Country and with East Texas, as well as Blackland Prairie plants considered icons of the area. Hurt carefully demonstrated how to identify poison ivy, now in abundance off the trails. This was a sharp contrast to two weeks ago when I couldn't find a single sprig of poison ivy to show Scout leaders.https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/03-25-2012-import-676.jpgWater flowing at Dogwood Canyon, Cedar Hill, Texas - 03-25-2012 import 676 - photo by Ed Darrell, use permitted with attributionAfter more than a year of serious drought, some of North Texas experienced high rainfall in the past three months.

Photo by and copyright held by Bob Radlinski. Radlinski's description: Darwin regularly spent about 5 hours a day here for 40 years and kept a chamber pot behind the partition so that he wouldn't have to trek to the toilet. But he still had time for an active family life with his wife Emma and their 10 children. The low stool with casters was used to spin himself from one desk where he dissected in front of the window to another where he took notes or wrote up labels—the stool the children were allowed to use for their games, punting themselves around the living room with long poles.

This squad car comes equipped with full-time dash-mounted cameras, instant radio and computer links; police also carry their own personal communication devices, such as the pink smartphone being used to photograph another officer. The car itself carries the phone number for emergency calls, and some carry the URL of the Dallas Police website. The traditional lights atop the car in Dallas have been updated to LEDs, which did not exist in 1963. How many other significant changes in technology can be found in these photos?https://timpanogos.blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2012-11-20-home-and-tippitt-memorial-030.jpg2012-11-20 Tippitt Memorial 030 crowd devoid of dignitaries - Brad Watson at rightOther than the police chief and a couple of Dallas ISD board members, the crowd was pleasantly devoid of dignitaries; it's a monument to a working man doing his job.
