Under the March Sun
The Beginning of Spring

  2. I would wonder too how the graffiti came indoors. Maybe the artist was invited in. Ahhh, March - I am so happy it is here.

  6. Marilyn,
    however they did it, it must have been a major effort.

    Charles Gramlich,
    beautifully said, thank you!

    Sandi,
    I feel the same about that exposed firewall, looks very vulnerable.

    Marcheline,
    oh, that is such a wonderful way to celebrate, thank you! :)
