One of my favorite things to do, and take pictures of, is "public art". To me, anything someone has created, painted, or set out for people to see, is public art. I love the creativity, the imagination and most of the time, the humor of it! Most of the time we stumble upon it, either driving by or as we are walking around a new town. I did find an app that tells you about some of the fun/funny things to see in or near a town. We've used this a few times and haven't been disappointed.
I haven't shared much with you yet this year, so thought I would pull some out and give you a smile for the day!
These are the "biggest" or "bigger than life" examples:
 |

 |
