We all wanted to be in the pic…. but you can still see a little of the art – on the outside wall of the theater near nrw district brewing company in Arlington with Kathy & Sharon

Faded but not forgotten – this is the last part of the “Chalk-in for Allie” art that remains visible on the street at 14th and Irving NE – the remnants of the “Build Safe Streets” chalk paint outline.

Ocotillo by Howard Kalish

This sits in the middle of a busy roundabout, but I played frogger to get closer and take better photos. You’ve inspired me, Boomer. The sculpture’s flowers are softly illuminated at night.

I almost always get those “I needed that yesterday” moments! By the way, the LFL’s here need you…

Tree mural on the side of the mall where I didn’t find the dumpling place (but it’s there, Komorebi says [emoji2358])

But hey I found art! [emoji2]

Without getting into all of the gory details, a pig flying seemed to encapsulate the difficulty I had getting out today. This is at Butcher’s Alley, 4961 Bethesda Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814.

Armillary Sphere, Willoughby Park, Friendship Boulevard and Willard Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD

The armillary sphere is an ancient timekeeping device, although this one is intended as art rather than being functional. The birds flying around the top represent time flying.
