Found this beautiful rose while out on a walk yesterday. Love my #iPhone camera.

Boston Back Bay on a cold late afternoon in early spring — just charming. #BlueSkyArtShow #Light #iPhone

One more #PublicArt post and then I think I am going to move on to another topic. This is a Christmas light display in a town in NW Arkansas this December. To walk around this town square, while bundled up against the cold, was just magical. Yep, this was public art in my opinion.

Here’s a cool bit of #PublicArt: one of about 100 very large troll sculptures created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. This one is in Breckenridge, CO.

Public art is all around us. Don’t forget to look up! Here’s the dome of the Texas capitol rotunda. #PublicArt

The Sargent gallery at the Boston Public Library is just one of the art treasures in this amazing place. #PublicArt

More cool public art. This time in Marion, Ohio where they have a whole flock of cardinals in a variety of colors around downtown. #PublicArt

Cool public art. This is a transformer my family and I stumbled across in Albuquerque, NM. #PublicArt

I came across this rose on my walk yesterday and took a quick photo. Only now that I am looking at it do Insee how the light of the sun made it so dramatic. #iPhone #photography

A baker’s dozen of books (some new, some from a local used book shop) that I assembled as a Christmas gift for my young adult nieces/nephew this year. I love encouraging reading, can’t wait to hear what they think of these, and hope they will want me to repeat the gift idea again next year.

Every ornament on a Christmas tree should have a story. This is one of several train ornaments that grace our tree every year because our son was obsessed with trains as a child. Now he’s in his twenties, but each year he comes home to put all the train ornaments on the tree. ❤️

A letter from an 11-year old girl written to President Kennedy in 1963. I admire the outrage and call to action from this spunky girl! #KennedyLibrary #PresidentialLibraries

My grandmother loved bearded irises. I do too. This one is a descendant from her collection. #photography #iPhone

Not a perfect photo by any stretch, but I like how the sunlight plays across the chair and porch at the historic Wawona Hotel. #photography #iPhone

Good tip! #signs #iPhone

More #signs #iPhone And yet we kept on going!

Let’s talk about signs. Funny, startling, whimsical, whatever. Here’s one to start on a trail in Breckenridge, CO. #signs #iPhone
