Art exhibits, Morse's Pond tempt adventurers within town borders.

Well, it's that time of the week again - the week's end. If your nose has been to the grindstone so much lately you haven't put thought into your plans for the next few days, don't worry. We've got a trio of humble suggestions - embrace them, go your own way, or offer your own ideas in the comments:

Gilbert, a Nobel Prize-winning  Molecular Biologist turned  visual artist, presents images based on series of abstractions created on different variations of a human profile, according to the gallery's web site.

Artist Al Levin's exhibit at the Wellesley Free Library Sunday offers a sampling of images which illustrate the extraordinary variety and richness of the reflections that can be created by a single object.  To some viewers, each image may represent a Rorschach, unlocking a memory or an emotion.  Others may identify strange creatures, either whimsical or threatening.  Other viewers may find allusions to the abstract works of artists such as Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Arshile Gorky or Roberto Matta.  Let the pictures take you where they will.

Morse's Pond

Jan Kaseta, director at the Wellesley Recreation Department, reports Morse's Pond is always a good summer destination. The beach is open 7 days a week through  Aug. 22, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.

The Recreation Department's website has posted a.pdf document with more information about the beach, which is located at 99 Turner Road.
