Beauty is in the eye.........
It was, I suspect, about the last thing I
expected to see in Florida.
It was a snowman!
Of course he wasn't made of real snow. (From
the comments of all the "locals" complaining
about this 60 degree plus "chilly day" you
might have suspected he was authentic.
He stood in front of the Mariette Museum of
Art & Whimsy.
This unusual gallery is filled with all kinds
of art work from more traditional paintings to
things like animals made of horse shoes! And,
everywhere, statues of Pink Flamingos!
The one think I didn't like was its rule
prohibiting photography inside! I've seen it
in a few other museums as well. It always
seems such a shame that visitors, many of
whom only get to these places once in a
lifetime, can't take some snap shots home as
a memento.
Photography was, however, allowed in the
garden area where there was plenty of art
work to be found.
It's kind of neat to realize that other
people envision things you may have
imagined from time to time. Only some of
them have the talents to bring them to
life.
I've come up with similar things. But,in my
case they've always been done by accident!
There may be a place for my Stick figures
after all!
I'd be glad to give you directions but I'm
not sure I remember. My Garmin, brother-in-law,
and two sister-in-laws were all telling me
where to go. Two of the four probably wanted
to do that for a long time.
Hope you've learned a thing of two from
all those "paint by number kits" and that
all your NEWS is good.
