The April 7 prompt is a color, one that self hasn’t sure she’s ever thought about: DARK VANILLA.
Nevertheless.

Self loves the challenge, Photographing Public Art, co-hosted by Marsha Ingrao and Cee Neuner.
The current theme is: WOMEN IN PUBLIC ART.
Last June, there was an exhibit at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor of the work of Wangechi Mutu. Self had never heard of this artist before; the exhibit was a revelation. Here are some of the pieces that were on exhibit:

Self is so far behind with this challenge, co-hosted by Cee Neuner and Marsha Ingrao. They’re actually on #38, so you can see how far behind self is.
Nevertheless, self has some pictures to share today, all of places in the San Francisco Bay Area:

Here are the Instructions:
1. Starts with “I.”
2. A Favorite.
3. “I”nsect.

2. A Favorite ‘I’: The opening sentence to self’s story, which appeared in Western Humanities Review last year: “I didn’t like the blind woman.” Apologies for the shameless plug, but she roamed all over her archives and didn’t find Irises or any other favorite thing beginning with an ‘I’ and was impatient.
3. Finally, Insect: Louise Bourgeois’s giant spiders at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, July 2018

February has gone by so fast. How many of us had “Russia invades Ukraine” on their 2022 bingo cards? Or ZELENSKY?
Thanks so much, Becky, for hosting another fun Squares Challenge.
Here is self’s last collection of Odds. She chose to focus on trees.

Self has fallen behind the SquareOdds Challenge! She will do her best to catch up.
Today, she’s sharing her photos from a visit last April to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. The Academy and other museums were just beginning to open to the public again. Self rushed over as soon as she could.
The building is fabulous. Designed by Renzo Piano, it is powered entirely by solar energy. It has a living roof — six inches of soil were carted in, and then the designers decided to see what would grow. Now, years later, a meadow has sprung up. It is lovely.
Here are two views of the living roof, from above and below:

Becky, host of the Squares Challenge, has a fantastic photo of a fig tree seemingly bursting out of a window!
Self’s SquareOdds today are museum objects.
Can anyone guess what these are?
The first is a bronze from the Crocker Museum in Sacramento.
The second is a relic from Pompeii, seen at the Last Supper in Pompeii exhibit at the Legion of Honor.
Points to anyone who guesses correctly!

Despite the pandemic, self managed to do quite a lot of things in 2021.
HUH. Who would have thought?
Seems the vaccines do work!
