Bicycle-themed collage art

Layered-paper collage with a bus-route map background. Green strip of paper along bottom, roughly one-quarter height of total image. In lower left corner, the word 'Bicycle' has been pasted, in blue letters against white background. The cut-out image of a blue, step-through framed bicycle, shown from side view with multi-colored flowers in a handlebar basket, is positioned on the green strip as if it were being ridden over the green 'ground.' Behind it, to the left in picture, is a cut-out paper image of a fabric butterfly. In the upper-right corner is a yellow half-sun. The artist's initials, 'CMP,' are rendered in individual cut-out letters, black type against white background, in the lower-right corner of the picture.

Here’s a collage from greeting-card images and from informational brochures gathered during an Earth Day celebration in Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square. The background is a route map for Santa Rosa City Bus.

San Francisco via train, bus, and ferry


Took a library-themed day trip to San Francisco this week, to celebrate my birthday. Rode aboard Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit to the San Rafael Transit Center, then caught Golden Gate Transit’s “Route 31” free shuttle to the Golden Gate Ferry.

Once in SF, we walked to the closest branch of the San Francisco Public Library, which offers a free library card to any California resident.

Our trip wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to Readers Bookstore Fort Mason, operated by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library; with book-laden packs we then made our way to the Golden Gate Bridge Visitors Center, where we caught Golden Gate Transit’s “Route 101X” back to downtown Santa Rosa.
