Spring in the Texas Big Bend can be a colorful experience or just a drab prelude to summer heat. It all depends on rainfall. In the past year extreme drought conditions have eased somewhat which means the possibility of spring flowers. Depending on the altitude, flowers start appearing as early as January and are gone by April. This year I caught the end of the wildflower bloom. Regardless, a trip to Big Bend is always a reward in itself.

The Guadalupe Dance Company performs folk dances at Luminaria Arts Night. San Antonio has a rich and diverse arts scene which is reflected in venues across the city. Luminaria Arts Night is an opportunity for artists of all types to showcase their work to the public in downtown San Antonio. Streets are closed and artists take over the city center for the evening to the delight of huge crowds. In many ways the combination of artists and audience of thousands of people are performance art.

Power exists in many forms. Animals, people, institutions and machines can be said to possess power. Multiple forms of power amplify one another. Ferrari is an example of that.

The power of Scuderia Ferrari and the road cars originates with a single individual, Enzo Ferrari. He was an uncompromising and some say single-minded man. Certainly he did not tolerate failure or people giving less than one hundred percent. He created powerful machines that were pure for their intended purpose. His legacy is still embodied in modern day Ferrari.
