Even under foot. When we took a tour of the US Capitol we were awestruck at the beautiful architecture, columns, paintings, ceilings, sculptures, the cupola, and even floor grates. I could stare at this for a long time. I love the symmetry. It looks like it’s a fibonacci sequence. Maybe that’s why it’s relaxing toContinue reading “Beauty Everywhere”

IContinue reading “That time we brought Barbies to see the President”
Air Force One

Whether you’re on the same side of the political fence or not, seeing the care and safety taken for the president fills you with pride. The original was flat. I increased the contrastContinue reading “Air Force One”
