The odds and ends in the creative world of Thendara M Kida-Gee.
Last Thursday we left for a mini adventure.
As an unschooling family these adventures are real life learning journeys.
We learn historical information about area, sometimes geology, and alot about the nature and wildlife of the areas we explore.
And we document. This was my evening view last Thursday and what a beauty it was.

I have been working on some fun stuff lately with all the sound recordings and what not over at labspace with the noise project. This has expanded my process to take on sound tactics I haven't worked with since in the U.K.
It's exciting to begin photographing with my ears again and collaging the works together and amazing how my visual practice translates into a sound exploration practice, the two intertwining.
Also working with Tim to create an outdoor sound installation for this summer, details coming soon.
What an amazingly magical day.
We went to Lime Kiln Park on a sunny Saturday.
The Jpod had been at eleven and there were continuous movements on the horizon of the water we were guessing was something.
Having walked to the lighthouse and back we went back up to acquire snacks from the car, some nuts, macaroons and carob brownies.
Suddenly it was announced the J pod was returning. We returned to the viewing area they came , and so close.
it was beautiful and brought me to tears behind my sunglasses and camera.
good shielding.
But from the shouts and sounds of amazement coming from around us I wasn't the only one being deeply touched.
Thank you J pod, for your salmon eating ways established over the past eight thousand years....
I learned that at the whale museum...
First town after leaving the Palouse Falls State Park , which is wonderful and hot in the summer (never do I complain of heat.) I loved this town. The Bank just left. The Tavern is still open.

I envision making hundreds or thousands of these and lining a tunnel or a wall or ceiling. Modular Collage ; pick a set , mix em up.
