Art?  Really?  

Thank goodness the signage crew was working to ensure that we would recognize the works of New York's more obscure artists.  I'm afraid I would have missed this masterpiece altogether.
Shelly > More deco architecture at the Chrysler Building.
Shelly > I think this is where Clark Kent works.  

The city is filled with wonderful art deco buildings and decorations.
Shelly > Maybe they didn't think all the tourists would recognize this as art.  I'm so glad they provided the signage!

Color Wheel

Whoosh . . .  Been so busy that I never even got around to picking up the crayons after I spilled them on the floor last week . . . much less posting any new dailies. At least they provided quick inspiration so that the folks who check my pics on a regular basis would know that I am still kicking.  (Hi Mom)

So, am I wierd or does anyone else who loves colors play this little game with crayons too? I sort of miss some of the old standard blended colors.  The new ones have different tones and hues that  just don't easily fit into a wheel like the ones from the olden days. And I have still never figured out how to incorporate all the browns, grays, blacks and white into this.

Bull Market in the Galleria

Actually this pic is from Saturday, the 19th, but if Smugmug can skip a day or two, so can I.  This bull sculpture, created entirely from Red Bull cans, reminded me immediately of Alex's Bull Market shot from New York:  http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/3752956_jdnMo#295448191_sGnCA

People were lining up for pictures with the bull.  I've never seen so many camera phones in action in one place in my life. 

Again, I used the little point n shoot  and then a little bit of pp work for effects.

We rarely go the the Galleria but it was a good mind diversion, and the air condition works well.  There's certainly no indication of a lagging economy there.

There has to be something pithy to say about a bucket full of well-used baseballs, but I don't know what it would be.  Maybe it's just late and my brain is turned off.  Still, I love this shot for a computer wallpaper or background art.
