here’s a few photos of the median landscape i was talking about in a previous post. this big one is taken from my car window at a red light. i cropped the car window frame out. i pulled over and walked around taking pictures, but my camera battery gave out about halfway through the photo shoot so i’ll have to stop again and get some different angles.
to save space i’ll put these in as thumbnails but click on them to see a bigger image. it’s worth slowing down for a second to look at. it’s not every day you see tax dollars work like this, in a creative and visually appealing way.
i know it seems like a silly thing to get excited about, but i think it’s so important the visuals we look at every day. the pictures we hang on our walls, the colors we choose to paint walls, the messiness or cleanliness factor we are each able to tolerate in our daily lives…when my yard was a mess i felt like my life was a mess too, but some weed pulling and landscaping and i am inspired to clean out my closet too… anyway, i think projects like this help lift the spirits of people that see it daily. i am probably overly optimistic though, considering there was a lot of litter left throughout this feature, as i walked around taking pictures. i could should have filled a couple grocery bags of litter.
