1. That's a beautiful picture!
Here's me being a drama queen in front of the Horiuchi Mural, near the Seattle Center.

3. that's a cool picture too!
what a huge mosaic, it is a mosaic, right? I loved Seattle when we visited, SF reminds me of it in a way, similar weather and an obvious attempt to include art in public places.

that pic of me was taked with a camera phone! can you believe it? I like that both my and the woman's hair in the mural is blowing in the wind, very synchronistic... I was trying to translate the letter in her hand. It was from her husband saying he wanted her to come to the US to be with him, he missed her. :-(

5. Yup, a mosaic.
Here's a different picture of it(one I didn't take).




I can't believe that picture came from a camera phone! That's awesome. Everything about that picture is just lovely. :)

2. Does this count?


It's all that I have in my photobucket account that may be considered art.

6. Somewhere along Highway A1A in the FL Keys. I think Key Largo.
It's one big ass lobster. We saw it and knew we had to pull over immediately for a pic.

9. Can I post a pic of me with my wife?
I think she is a work of art!

Otherwise, this will have to do.

11. Beijing?
I loved my one trip to Asia. Only saw Hong Kong and Thailand (which was a lot to see!) I would love to take another trip in my lifetime and include Vietnam, Cambodia, and Singapore.

13. yes
That is the Temple of Heaven. Beijing is a great place to visit, but I'd rather live in Shanghai or Nanjing.

10. In front of a fave Francis Bacon triptych at the Hirschorn in 1999
I apologize that the back of my shirt is uneven. I also apologize that I still wear that shirt and those shoes.

16. no apologies...
your shirt fits well with the art. :-) and I also have shoes that some would consider 'past their prime' and cannot let go!

21. Thank you Scout!
I took it a few months ago for another post a pic thread...when I was feeling confident enough to show my unmade up face, which is how I am most days. :)

20. Yes, my youngest is quite the artist...sometimes 25 pictures to hang
up a day! ;) And this one actually has his sister smiling and holding his hand. Usually he does her all grumpy and off in space somewhere...I wonder why? :) Thanks flea!
