Magical Santa Monica
An ode to the joys of being a flâneur in Santa Monica, and the whimsical treasures revealed while engaging in Flânerie .
Kettle’s on…
the open roof of this patio on 34th and Pearl streets…
Quite a sight seen from the street.
A closer view reveals trees getting into the act. What a collection!
Details of a beautiful painted door on the west side of one of the shady North South Streets south of Wilshire…14th?
The textures created by weathering make it all the more entrancing.
Nearby….on 14th or 15th Street just south of Montana Avenue…a magical realm of flamingos and butterflies.
Right next door paper lanterns hang like daytime moons, amongst the brilliant purple blooms of the seasonally ubiquitous Jacaranda tree.
Crushed cans form a mosaic surface on the walls of an apartment building (or condos?) on a north south street, south of Wilshire.
Someone, or some…spent a lot of time on this. Let’s hear it for recycling…an aesthetic coup for environmentally conscious Santa Monica.
LITE details. A touchingly tactile transformation.
Well wishes from the Yarn Bombers…brightening up a chain link fence protecting what looks to be an empty lot.
We hope YOU are well, too. Come and enjoy the whimsical beauties of art, nature and creativity abounding in Santa Monica. If you didn’t feel well before you visit, you are certain to feel better afterwards.
