A to Z: Hemingway

Hemingway is my favorite classic author. I thought I had read all of his works but while checking things out I discovered there are a few I have missed. I hope they are good.

My two favorite Earnest Hemingway books are similar yet different. My favorite is "The Old Man and the Sea."



My second  favorite...



"Islands in the Stream" is more of deep track pick, However, it is more of that Tropical Adventure that I am drawn to like Benchley, Bob Morris and others.

Again doing this blog I found there is a movie version of the book, is it any good?





Not only has Hemingway influence authors I like he has influenced artists like Guy Harvey..



What is your favorite Earnest Hemingway book?

A to Z Challenge 2016: Guy Harvey

A wonderful benefit about the A to Z Challenge is that it allows you to blog about things you thought that you already blogged about but didn't. I could have sworn I blogged about my visit to the local art museum to see the Guy Harvey exhibit. I didn't swear and apparently I didn't blog about it.

Who is Guy Harvey? He is an artist, known for his wildlife art mostly featuring marine wildlife. If you have gone to a store at a beach or fish chances are pretty good you have seen his work on t-shirts and hats. He is more than an artist he is also a conservationist and a scientist. He has created the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation and the Guy Harvey Research Institute.

Hanging out with me on a rainy day can be a cultural experience such as a trip to the art museum where we checked out some of Mr. Harvey's work up close..




Here are fish I try to target..



He is best known for his Marlin work..



But my date likes dolphins..



Of course I told her if she didn't have fun I would lock her up..



The museum used to be an old jail. I didn't really lock her up or did I?
