Thank you, Ron. Hearing from you is always a gift.
Every morning when I walk my dog these days, I notice so many lovely things I didn’t pay attention to before. It seemed important to share such creative, lovely artwork, before it dissolves in the next rain,,
Sending my best wishes. 💜

What a lovely neighborhood. Did children draw on the sidewalks? Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful questions, Skywalker. Much of the neighborhood is lovely, although not all… On our daily walks, Pinto and I see so many creative chalk creations on the sidewalks. I would guess it’s something children have time to do now because they’re not in school. I wanted to take photos of a few today before the rains wash them away…
Sending my best wishes to you, 💜

It’s so good to hear from you, too, Rosaliene. Teaching this past semester has been overwhelming. Only one-third of my students were able to complete the course before grades were due early this week. Even so, I was buried in papers that required me to read original sources to make sense of what they were trying to communicate. I am waiting to be buried once again when late papers arrive from the rest of the students! The only breaks have been my two daily walks with my dog. I let him choose which way to go on our first morning walk and only head back home when he begins to look tired. So often, I have wished I could take photos of sights we pass in our travels, but that’s not something he would tolerate. Yesterday, I decided to go out again to take a few photos. I wanted to capture some of the amazingly creative sidewalk art before it disappeared in the rain that was imminent!
It felt important to show a different side of life in lock-down that may disappear when we’re all too busy to remember to take time to witness and/or create beauty, even if it’s only temporary and free for anyone to see.

I love it, too, Sha’Tara. I often wish I could take photos of it when I walk my dog, but that’s not possible. On the day I first saw these, though, I went back out to take photos before the promised and long-awaited rain, knowing they would disappear like many of the other beautiful chalk creations we saw in our travels around the neighborhood.
