Erasing the rules- SFMOMA exhibition with Robert Rauschenberg This is a really exciting exhibit featuring one of America’s greatest contemporary artists.  From the 1940’s until his passing in 2008, Robert worked with everything from newspaper, photography, fabric to items found on New York City streets. More than 150 of his works are on display. He broke down the boundaries between disciplines redefining  what art can be. He also did set designs for famous American dance companies including Merc Cunningham and Paul Taylor  and felt there was a strong connection between the creative process of dancers and artists like himself. He had fun playing with art and loved to add unexpected objects on his canvases such as old socks, neck ties, and worn out bedding. This is just another example of the exciting life outside your front door in the Bay Area.

Did you ever wonder about all those birds by the Oakland Airport when you take off on the runway? Today with my great Rotary friends, we visited the Martin Luther King Regional Shoreline Reserve. Located near the bustling Oakland International Airport, this 741 acre park, protecting the once extensive marshland of the San Leandro Bay is a wonderful jewel tucked away in the shadows of urban living. There is 50 acre Arrowhead marsh which is part of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network with more than 30 varieties of shorebirds who visit during the winter months. The setting is lovely, with beautiful views of the bay and a level and easy walking trail which winds gently thru the bird haven. This is a fun place for the entire family including your dogs.
