This is one of the Sculpture Tour pieces of art on display in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Over 30 artists allow sculptures to be on loan for a year. The community votes to choose their favorite and that one is purchased by the City Council to become a permanent display for years to come. Of course all items are for sale. Some are purchased by individuals and some are purchased by businesses in the community.
This photo was taken while I was on the sidewalk looking up in order to eliminate the background.
Surprised to find this beautiful field of lupines behind the motel in Duluth, MN The pink and yellow add to the attractiveness of this photo. It was great to see them growing along the highways.
It is just one of gifts of nature. Nobody planted them No body has to water them. Nobody has to weed the flower bed. They just grow freely and abundantly. Sort of like God's grace.
Have you noticed that some churches build very tall steeples that reach out into the sky pointing to the heavens? Then there are others whose towers look like a fortress maybe to be protected by the evil forces of the world.
Or just maybe the message is to say that here is a safe place where people can come for spiritual nourishment in a nurturing environment so they can be a force of love, charity and peace to the whole world.
It almost sounds like an oxymoron to talk about Snowballs in July. This one and dozens of others were found on Golf Road adding attractive scenery on a beautiful July day.
To be honest with you I would not have noticed these snowballs had I not been trying to be successful in taking at least one photo a day. This task has opened my eyes to things I would have missed before.
I submit this photo not as one of beauty but a moment of learning. The assignment was to take photo and demonstrate what can happen with a slow shutter speed. These are tail lights on cars driven on Golf Road.
I can imagine an interesting night photo taken from a bridge overlooking the Interstate Highway where there is a curve coming in the distance. That kind of photo would certainly grab my attention.
My Million Belles are almost unnoticed when they are put next to the Arbor Vitae trees. Yet each one in their own way is special.
