I had never heard of this fairy-tale so I looked it up.

I enjoy the detail in these illustrations and I appreciate that it was for children to enjoy. To me, it is important that we recognize that even children can appreciate fine art. As adults we should not dumb down education to children, but rather expose them to all things good even if it appears to be over their heads. All people learn at their own rate.

I Should Have Been an Architect! -Part 1

My Sugar Sister sent me:

Bizarre Architecture from around the world!

I have definitely enjoyed these and thought I would share them. This first one is: "Forest Spiral- Hundertwasser Building" it is in GERMANY. I would never have guessed that. I thought it looked more eastern in its shape and color.

Wonderworks in Orlando Florida.

Who would think of an upside down building? And more importantly, who has the money to spend on this? Anyway, it is interesting and it must be safe. It certainly looks like a hurricane hit it, if that in fact is the look the architect was going for! Love the humor in this, it just makes you smile!

I Should Have Been An Architect- Part 2

This is Ideal Palace in France
Looks like a sand castle to me!



The Crooked House in Poland.

So very odd, it looks like it is about to fall! What do you think?



My Favorite:
"The Torre Galatea Figueres"

In Spain, where all the artists and
architects are wild!














Later, I will share some apartment buildings that are extremely different. For now I'm off and running!

New Bike, Anyone?

Here is an interesting bike for you! Designed by Craig Calfee. I like it! How about you?

Desert Spring!

While looking at different landscapes I realized what I really really like is the natural beauty of the Arizona Desert in Bloom!

Look! What we can find in a desert wash!

I love this desert
