Piglet Goes Postal

A somewhat disheveled Piglet

has become the cheerful guardian

of this mailbox.

It either makes the mail carrier

smile everyday,

or

it scares 'em silly.

Public Library, Washington, DC

The Public Library

Washington, DC.

Built between 1899-1902.

Paid for by Andrew Carnegie.

Gorgeous architectural details.

And this, um, interesting sculpture out front...

beautiful and striking from an artistic standpoint,

fiercely evocative.

The chief relationship I can discern

to the bastion of learning

upon whose lawn it stands

is:

"I have a question."

Wonder and curiosity.

Asking questions is how we learn.

Wouldn't you agree?

Windless

A windless morning

at the Anaheim Convention Center

leaves the USA flag

and the California state flag

drooping

in the midst of

a pleasant field

of lines and patterns...

and

palm trees!!

Street art #17: Georgetown

Unknown artist.

Unknown subject.

Possibly a self-portrait?

Whoever it is was commemorated

on this old bridge in Georgetown,

at least for a while.
