At first glance my eyes tricked me into seeing this rather odd image. I've sketched on it a bit to make it more obvious; incase other people's eyes are less likely to wander into Fantasia

You forgot the wings.

This mural was done, from start to finish, today.

You forgot the wings.

Better?

If things look a little out of proportion, it's because I tried to work with the shading on the wall instead of drawing the wings the way I think they should be, not that that would necessarily have made it better.

Anyway, thanks BobbyBoomer, for helping me amuse myself today. I hope it wasn't too annoying.

Annoying??? It was delightful.

Thanks. I was walking down the street, saw it, and snapped the picture.

Sometimes things just tickle my eyes.

Hi ALL - Susan & I are on a 6-night trip through Virginia (VA) & southern Pennsylvania visiting Civil War battlefields (Petersburg, Manassas, Gettysburg, & Fredericksburg) which I may turn into a travelogue - just not sure how many American Civil War buffs are on this forum?

But our last stop (on the way home to North Carolina) is at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA, capital of the Confederacy - this is a wonderful 5-diamond property - probably our 6th visit over the years (just a 4-hour drive from home) - below, a couple of pics from the web - first is just a portion of the beautiful lobby w/ a statue of Thomas Jefferson (author of the Declaration of Independence & third president of the USA) - the magnificent glass dome is only seen partially; the second pic descending into a large space where events are often held - an important one is the Sunday 'Champagne Brunch' which we'll be enjoying tomorrow - I usually stick w/ the seafood, e.g. oysters on the half shell, salmon (smoked & poach), mussels, various types of cooked fish, etc. - of course, many other choices, including omelettes & other delicious breakfast items; carving stations; and numerous desserts - if you are EVER in this area, this BRUNCH is a MUST (and I don't like brunches - ) - Dave

Fantastic. The phrase"They don't build them like that anymore." certainly applies. builders are in too much of a hurry to get to the next job to make this type of architecture feasible in today's world. A sad thing, in my opinion.

Hi Scifan.. - I'm on my iPad w/ a BT keyboard in our hotel room at The Jefferson - recently renovated w/ the smell of new wood furniture - just a gorgeous room (Susan opted for a 'deluxe' one this time - well, you can only live once, I guess? ).

BUT, when I return home in a few days and back to my MBPro, I can add some more - in the meantime, this property dates from the late 19th century and has been very well preserved and its 5-diamond status is deserved. Below just a few more pics from the web of the front entrance, a better view of the dome in the lobby, and the setup for the Sunday brunch - the bar is to the lower right in this view where we will be seated (much more seculded and relaxing) - however, the servers circulate frequently to refill your champagne flute - Dave

Took a few pictures of flowers over the last couple of days. All of these are tweaked, some a little, some a lot.

Thank you.
That's about the way I saw them.
