I’m linking up with Kim from Frog Ponds Rock for Sunday Selections. I’ve been scrolling through my photos for my Feb LOAD (Layout a Day) project and I came across these ones from July 2009 that I must have taken when I picked Grace up from school one day.
The first one makes me sad. Some graffiti is just not art. The owners of the house had just put the fence up. This is also the pathway that leads to the school so every kid sees it.
Looking in the other direction is the oval I used to walk across to the school, surrounded by trees and a gorgeous sky… that day.
Kim from Frog Ponds Rock is participating in the Leukemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave 2012. You can check out her blog post about it here. You can make a donation to this very worthy cause by sponsoring Kim here. Please help Kim reach her goal.
Have a fab week!

What a contrast, between the ugly and the beautiful!
I love your trees and sky and am ashamed to be human when I see the mindless destruction in the first. Strong words? Perhaps but people like this have no respect for anyone and I don’t know where that leads to. Sorry. Back in my box now.
Thank you SO MUCH for the shout out Sam. Your photos of the fence could be the identical one to a newly erected fence just down the road from me but I think your graffiti is slightly better than mine. I would like to gather up the kids that paint these fences and things and organise an art exhibition with them somewhere. So that they can be heard. The red graffiti has a lovely patterning about it. I can see that as a series of jagged repetitive images in a film. xx thanks for joining in Sam and once again your images have sent me off into a daydream
Such beautiful tall trees and so much green! I miss being in Florida where it was green… Texas is so dry and brown…
Love the sky and park photos. Thanks for the reminder about Kim too. I promised to donate, then forgot….I’ll do that this week.
The graffiti guys and girls are just not using their mind. I don’t think they understand how it affects other people and people’s property. Stupid kids. Fingers crossed that they will use their creative urges for better things once sense kicks in. If sense kicks in.
Great sky!
