Ceramic tile art,
everywhere is eye candy!
My senses are peeked.

There are so many patterns everywhere! With tile and cobble stones galore. One has to pay attention to where one steps, for the cobble stones are beautiful but may be treacherous through narrow alleyways of tiled walls. I passed a dog park area with artistically displayed signs at the entrance as several humans with dogs on leashes shuffled up to the doggy social club. I noticed a stone wall with delicate weeds squeezing their way through
the cracks, and I'm reminded how resilient plants are in finding their way to the light. I want to remember how to be that resilient. Clothing lines are interesting photographs to me. I like the banner of colored laundry hanging on a line to dry, using only sun and wind energy to get the job done. It's an image of orderly, cozy simplicity.
There is an alley where I saw photo portraits on ceramic plaques in front of different homes. Apparently, the plates are to memorialize the people who once had a significant role of giving generously their service, works, and leadership to the community ( This one is of a woman named Carmelinda).
There are many stories to be heard, but so little time to hear them all. But I can nibble a bit from each tip of the iceberg as I go.Read more
