One of my favorite museums is the Tate in London. The Tate owns the largest collection of artwork by J.M.W. Turner. He created many works of light as seen from sunrises and sunsets. They are exquisite in colour, composition, and motion. The website for the Tate is http://www.tate.org.uk/. There are in fact two separate museums, the Tate and the Tate Modern. Both are home to fasinating and unique works of art.
The Louvre in Paris also has a wonderful website. The collection is very large and somewhat overwhelming. The virtual tours are a good introduction. Go to http://www.louvre.fr/ and pick a subject of interest. The web provides another level of understanding for discovering and learning about works of art and the amazing people that created them throughout history.

Darlington Summer
Darlington is a very lovely place with all kinds of wildlife. In addition to Bluebirds, there are Indigo Buntings, Cardinals, House Wrens, Pileated Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers and an occasional Bald Eagle. In the Spring and Fall, hundreds of Canada Geese land in the corn field to eat.
