love wandering around the town
discovering artists’ work
left in unexpected places
a sudden inspiration
using what they found
—
“i don’t think there’s anything in this universe as powerful as the power of an artist to create.
by that logic, we are all artists, aren’t we?”
-malcolm fernandes
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Beauty found in the unexpected tastes just a bit more sweet! Great post, Beth!

An imaginative piece of art Beth… on closer perusal, I’d say it’s a sculpture representing “the Tower of Babylon”…

What a wonder that is and no one to claim it. I watched all of Sir Ken Robinson about art. I loved going to new little towns and seeing wall and street art. People are so amazing in their creativity.

yes, it is a rare gift, Beth especially to post regularly and maintain the quality: the sweetness and accuracy of observation and sometimes the poignancy for that too is an aspect of life 🙂
