If you haven’t been to the newly remodeled National Geographic Museum of Exploration, put it on your list. The National Geographic Museum of Exploration has reimagined what a museum is and can be. It’s not cheap, so plan for several hours there. You won’t be disappointed. Lots of interesting displays and experiences, starting in the courtyard, continuing to the floor of the reception area, and including special talks and events. I was there last week for “Coffee with an Explorer,” a fascinating chat with Mackenzie Calle, a NatGeo Explorer and photographer who had the cover image of the July issue of the magazine. A real kick to talk with her about her experiences!

I’m a big fan of murals, especially ones that have been around long enough to be tinged with a bit of decay. It gives them a bit of character beyond the actual painting. Ran across, or rather walked by this on the Bayside Trail in Portland, Maine.

Little known fact: Statues suffer from presbyopia—age-related focus loss—and require corrective lenses. Next time you pass an old statue, look closely at the eyes. If they’re not squinting, they’re wearing contacts.

“That’s why I’m going to be a mermaid when I grow up.” Do you stop when you see peeling paint on an old building? I do. Especially when there’s an old piece of art hanging on for dear life. Shot on a walk through Portsmouth with my iPhone using Adobe’s Project Indigo app.

“Look Away.” Talk about ignoring the elephant (or jester) in the room! From the Whitney Biennial.

They used to be all happy to see you when you came home. Now it’s all “What did you bring me? I want it NOW!”
