Member Preview - Amazing Butterflies Saturday, January 21, 10:00 AM, Carnegie Museum of Natural History

Be among the first to embark on a journey revealing the unusual relationships between caterpillars, butterflies, and their natural surroundings. By weaving through a room-sized maze, children adventure through leaves, learn how to move like a caterpillar, transform into a butterfly, and take flight.

Amazing Butterflies invites you to shrink down into the undergrowth to become one of the most extraordinary creatures on earth by climbing in pupa pods, crawling through a monarch tunnel, soaring down the butterfly zip line and fending off a hairy plant attack. Together, families will explore this interactive experience and learn the surprising challenges butterflies face every day. I', sending this article out in advance because I expect the event to be popular and space is limited.   Go to the link and Reserve your spot.  If you are not a Museum member, consider joining to be able to attend events like this and to receive the wonderful emails from the curators. Memberships begin at $50 for seniors and $75 for individuals (there are other fees for families).     Contact the experienced agents at RE/MAX Realty Brokers with your questions about buying and selling real estate.

Tam O’Shanter Drawing Sessions

Wite-Out and red pens in hand, mark up, scribble, and ornament the document!
An ode to the art of the edit, this session is led by Karen Kelly and Barbara Schröder of Dancing Foxes Press, publishers and editors of the creative team for Carnegie Int’l, 57th ed., 2018. After a little lesson on how to draw editing and proofreading symbols, participants will amend and adorn iconic written passages from such fields as law, science, and journalism.



These creative sessions are for those who draw and for those who don’t. Explore contemporary art through improvised forms of drawing with artists and organizers of the 2018 Carnegie International. Sketching, doodling, cartooning, mapping, writing, and marking are among the many modes that will bring us together.

Named after the original art classes for young people that Carnegie Museum of Art has been holding since 1929; the tam o’shanter, or tam, is a Scottish beret—oft adorned by a pompom. The event is free, please register to attend. This event takes place at Alphabet City Center, 40 W. North Avenue, PIttsburgh

Have you tried snowshoeing?

I've been complaining loudly about our current cold weather. The weather is probably not going to change for a while so I think I better find something enjoyable to do in the remaining  cold weather.

Venture Outdoors is a member-supported local non-profit that "makes it easy for you to get outside." You might enjoy the Winter Solstice Stroll on 12/21, the Christmas Bird Count on 12/31, the Chocolate Tasting Hike on 1/14, or a snowshoe class for beginners on 1/17.  

Go to the organization's Home Page and then the calendar to get the details about the outdoor activites that appeal to you.
