Today, the first graders celebrated Dr. Seuss in high style. Each child could pick a favorite Seuss character and dress up. My older son chose to dress as Sam I Am. We originally bought a St. Patrick Day type of hat, but my husband found a red hat later. My son very intelligently put the red hat on the St. Patrick on to make a Sam I Am type of hat. He is holding green eggs and ham.

My younger son came into the dining room while I was taking pictures of my painting. He turned on the piano, started playing notes, and sang Bee Bind Mice. I think I will have to sign him up for lessons since he enjoys the piano so much. The cutest part was him turning pages in the hymn book before starting another song.

While not a cubist work, I believe this can move on its own merit.

My son has gotten back into his iPod Nano. I saw the way the light was hitting him and all of the blue and couldn't resist taking this shot.

Today's Daily Assignment asked the photographer to take a picture with negative space. Unfortunately, the most interesting subject, a partially sunk catamaran, bobbed too far away from the condo patio for me to get a picture. I think the people that were in it were ok. A police truck drove up the beach honking, but I don't know what on earth he thought he was going to do to help (unless he had been watching Top Gear and was going to turn that truck into a truck/boat).

So, here is my picture of negative space. Enjoy!
