Two sculptures of Magnolias Trees in bloom at the corner of Seventh Street and Penn Avenue- Public Art in The Cultural District – downtown Pittsburgh. The lead artist –Tony Tasset
My granddaughter and I were on our way to opening night of The Music Man.
Right across the street from the theatre where we were headed… “Two sculptures of magnolia trees called Magnolias for Pittsburgh are surrounded by five real magnolia trees.”

“The intention of Magnolias for Pittsburgh was first and foremost to create a public work with an egalitarian aesthetic that appeals to a wide range of the population,” Mr. Tasset writes in his artist’s statement. “I wanted to simply create a little magic, fairy tale moment in the daily hustle and bustle of downtown Pittsburgh. Magnolias is meant to have a dynamic relationship with the environment,”

From my sister Mary today-

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
After French Artist Georges Seurat-





After nine hours sitting on the train from Pittsburgh and a delicious dinner, my sister and I walked five miles along the Hudson River. The northern lights were supposed to be happening between ten and two am but weren’t visible. We did see the Worm Moon (the worms are wiggling around in the warmed earth now) and the twinkling lights in the night.

Every Monday Restless Jo posts her walks (click to see Tróia) she has many blog followers sharing their walks. Jo often leaves a good word on my blog. Although I’ve been “walking along” with Jo for years, this is my first time to join the community of walkers, too. Total 5.6 miles walk but…..
I started on the tram. I had the four kuna ready.


I actually started my walk at the Zagreb Botanical Garden in beautiful autumn colors
