March In March the wind blows down the door and spills my soup upon the floor. It laps it up and roars for more. Blowing once blowing twice blowing chicken soup with rice. #MauriceSendak #March
It's the open page of chidren's book by Maurice Sendak . On the left side are the words of the poem. On the right side is a comical illustration  - an image to the wind blowing over the bowl of soup and the kid being annoyed.

Hello , new day!
It’s a beach at dawn .  There is a line of birds right where waves meet sand, the clouds scattered across the sky are puffy gray, deep blue, and pink. These colors are reflected in the water.

#artadventcalendar Day 20 Breathe
This photo is about expansiveness. The lower third is an open field in springtime - green and full. The middle third shows the clouds of springtime - white and gray and puffy. The top of the photo is the blue sky with wispy cloud pieces. slightly right of center there is a fence post that runs through the grass. There is a diagonal fence post that takes the viewer off the page as if there are places to go. The whole image is an invitation to breathe and pay attention.

#artadventcalendar Day 18 Be the Light
There is an object at the center of the photo. It's actually a seashell but the viewer might not really know. It's a white with ridges and a pink edging. The object is surrounded with tiny foamy bubbles and under that dark sand. The left hand edge of the object is like a bright light, the dawn sun reflecting off the edge.
