    I was on my way to get a photo of a piece I know already and cutting through a neighborhood, saw these beauties. The more I look at them, the more I see!

    This bicycle themed art at Security Public Storage, 5223 River Rd, Bethesda, MD 20816 (right next to the CCT) seemed particularly relevant to Freezing Saddles. And I couldn’t resist getting my own bike in the picture.

    Public art next to New District Brewing Company in Arlington.
    Personally, I think Kathy enhanced this art with her keen eye and selfie technique!!c734742a1a8dbc83abb257df87b67a2b.jpg

    This is such a joyful piece. It’s on a high point in the center of the park, and you have to walk across the ‘grass’ to see it up close. When you get there, if you’re like me, you laugh out loud.

    Installed in 2017 — Wagon Sprouts is artist Christopher Fennell’s interpretation of Jack and the Beanstalk. The 24’ tall bean sprouts are constructed out of steel pipe and repurposed little red wagons.

    The three sprouting beans create a gathering point where viewers can look up at the sprout leaves.

    The art piece was created using funding from the City of El Paso’s Public Art Program. For ten years, the city has dedicated two percent of every capital project to site-specific public art. More than 50 public art projects have been completed since the program was started.

    I was on my way to the O Hotel for another reindeer game when I spotted this unusual piece of public art. This is in downtown Los Angeles

    I’m particularly enjoying this one, because I just started fostering a dog named Grace–and it took me only 24 hours to decide to adopt her. :)
