Of course, I did head off and look at pesticides and bees in the nineteenth century, and immediately found remedies to keep bees out of ripe fruit ...
and then, in the National Gallery today (reopened! yay!) I found these, in a painting by Joseph Decker.
It was so wonderful to be able to take some details ready for class on Tuesday - like Church's Niagara,
and from his El Río de Luz
and here's Elton John in 1851.
I'd never noticed the brass band in Homer's Home Sweet Home before.
A very smoky chimney in Whistler's Wapping,
and a Landseer in which some St Bernards are trying to lick a man back to life, his furry glove looking just like a paw.
Back in LA, now, and it's late ...
