Street Art: Live your Dream

Live Your Dream, Bowery & Spring, Manhattan, NYC, USA

OK, so this is technically not street art. It's good old graffiti. But I still love it because of the message. It was on the Germania Bank building at 190 Bowery which has been a graffiti and street art covered private residence for years. 

A ~ Z of Marvelousness: K is for Keys

PianoKeys

“The pianokeys are black and white

but they sound like a million colors in your mind".

- From "Spiders web” ― Maria Cristina Mena

A ~ Z of Marvelousness: F is for Flowers

Flowers

• Spring flowers...promise of warmer days and brighter colors.
• Giving flowers dates back centuries - originally bestowed for their medicinal and herbal characteristics.
• A small bouquet is also called a nosegay, tussie-mussie, or posy...
• The "Language of Flowers" - to express feelings that can't be spoken.
• I took this picture at the Portobello Market in London in Spring.
• "There are always flowers for those who want to see them." Henri Matisse

A ~ Z of Marvelousness: B is for Beach

Beach, Key Biscayne, FL, USA

• Turquoise water, white sand, blazing sun, lots of fun, maybe even throw in a picnic and a few palm trees – can it get any more marvelous than that?
• This is Key Biscayne Beach, FL, a five-mile-long barrier island just off the coast of downtown Miami.
• I took the picture after climbing the stairs all the way to the top of the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse 
• My favorite beaches: Copacabana Beach (Rio, Brazil), Blouberg Beach (Cape Town, South Africa), Kho Phi Phi Beach (Phi Phi Islands, Thailand), and the beautiful Boracay (Philippines).
