Mercator's Birthday ~ March 5: The ironic thing about a world globe is that it never allows you to see the world as a whole. You see only a hemisphere at a time. Enter Mercator: He came up with a system for displaying the round earth on flat paper, making it possible to cut and flatten the entire terrestrial surface. Rose Hill Cemetery. [2020]

Instead of a Dash – A Violin:  What would normally be a dash between dates is a violin and bow. He was born to play the strings, and he played them until he died. That's how the dash works.

The Last Camping Trip ~ From Tents . . . :  We live on planet Earth, but our lives consist of many worlds. The world of camping may be one of them, at least for this artist and one lonely dog. Why lonely? It seems like his master and the easel have popped off to another dimension, leaving behind their shadowy silhouettes. Don't you wonder what he is painting now? Twin Falls Cemetery. [2020]
