I couldn't slow, but I saw they added artwork, huge sculptures, at each end, north and south lanes and they were delightful. I love art in public places or unexpected places. Your snails attract me also. I love color.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-65086817325011872112014-09-23T19:54:46.348+10:002014-09-23T19:54:46.348+10:00Anything that makes us smile is a good thing.

What a beautiful accent in a garden. I adore rusted metal garden sculptures.<br /><br />The gentle clucking of chickens is a wonderful, comforting sound. I miss my chickens. Such honest little souls.<br /><br />Stunning white balloon blossoms are enchanting indeed. With an ethereal, dreamy quality. And ephemeral - like the real blooms they represent.<br />I would have loved to see them in person.<br /><br />Thank you for more delightful Floriade goodness, EC.
