Sidewalk Art

Most everyone is practicing shelter in place and keeping their distance from each other. That doesn't rule out walks, as long as we keep our distance. It's about the only thing we really can do at the moment, until we develop a good herd immunity to this disease.

Yesterday, while out on a walk, I encountered in front of several houses, some sidewalk chalk art. Most of the artwork was in the form of inspirational messages, hellos to the neighbors who walk by and other cute photos. 

At this particular spot, however, there was some serious talent residing within the house. I hope, whoever created this piece of art, continues to be inspired and continues to hone their craft. The sad part about this is that it rained last night, heavily. I actually walked by the spot again this morning in the hopes of getting a before and after photo of the artwork, but it was not to be since there literally wasn't even any streaks of chalk on the sidewalk.

But looking at it another way, the rain gave the artist a blank canvas to work with in the near future.
