Spring Chicks

The first day of spring is in a few days, & the Uber 5000 chicks celebrate with art.

Artist: Uber 5000

The painting doesn’t get any higher than this. It is mostly 2 feet off the ground.

Artist: Uber 5000

I tried hunching down low.

As you see, getting down on my knees & elbows worked better.

The Chicks are writing!

They are reciting and acting!

They are erasing mistakes, and starting over again!

Look what I found for Georgiann, a street art pigeon! It’s just a tiny little bit of art, hiding in a corner in a alley. Anyway, it’s for her and if you click on it, you will be transported to her blog via pigeon magic.

She’s a vegetarian, loves cats and is an animal rights activist.

My painted owl is very pretty, and lovely to look at. However, when I look at Cindy’s owl, I want to hold it and kiss it and hug it and love it.
