Moodboard: February

Hello February! Skies are still overcast, temperatures are low, and we still need more than a single layer of clothing to keep us warm and cozy. And even though Punxsutawney Phil drew a round of applause for predicting an early spring this year, chances are the weather will still catch us off guard with a blizzard or two. And while we wait for spring to officially arrive, here is a new mood board for February.

After Hurricane Ike Wrecked Galveston Island In 2008, Local Artists Turned Tree Stumps Into Beautiful Sculptures


After Hurricane Ike hit Galveston Island in 2008, there was little left intact plus there was a major impact on woody plants. A year later, the city agreed to turn dead trees into pelicans, dolphins and musical instruments.
Since then local artists have been transforming a historical part of the island, making elaborate sculptures to adorn many front yards. Nowadays, this tree art takes on a new meaning as a declaration of resilience and a wholeness with nature.
