Airport Art

Killing time in the Charleston airport was joyful. There was a lot of wonderful art to look at throughout. Most have a river theme. At least that's how I saw it. Beautiful colorings and drapings and delight.I have tried to discover who the artist is but have not been able to. What a shame. If anyone in blogger land know, please let me know so that I can give credit here.

I love these draped panels the most. So graceful and elegant. The view changes as you walk around them. How sweet are they!

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere

Doesn't this just say it all!!!

 

Happy, Happy Hour!

Sea Oats

I have been fascinated with sea oats since the first time I laid eyes on them. Slender little branches that blow in the wind but create a community of roots that laugh in the face of the wind and the sea as if to say "We ain't going anywhere, my friends."

And in this particular place, they have opened a path to the sea. How inviting!

One evening while at Hilton Head, a the setting of a full moon at water's edge was there for all to see. Rick and sat on the beach and watched it rise along with a lot of other interested people. The photos were so fun to capture.

There were reflections at the early rising...

And later reflections and silhouettes...

And moon writing, my favorite.

Photography should be fun!

Repetition in the Garden

I love when I discover repeating elements. I discovered these at the Chicago Botanical Garden. The day was overcast so the lighting was special. Bits of shadow but no glaring shine. WOW!! Perfect for pictures!

The spheres on the posts on the right but assymetrical overall...my fav

Again, repeating spheres and a wall of trees with a brick vanishing point. Gotta love it!

  And then, the lone element with wonderful shadows and brick diagonals.
