A ~ Z of Marvelousness: J is for Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons ~ Sacred Heart

• This marvelous steel heart, tied up with a gold ribbon, is by one of my favorite sculptors -  Jeff Koons - and it was part of the "Jeff Koons on the Roof" exhibition on the roof garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 2008.

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: D is for Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, Croatia

• Marvelous: The beautiful, medieval city of Dubrovnik. The color of the sea and the the sky are almost exactly the same…
• The city is a UNESCO world heritage site and was founded in the 7^th century. It is seriously rich in history.
• The city survived the Croatian war of the early 90's a little damaged but will probably continue to flourish.
• Definitely a “must see”...

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).
