After the 365: Galveston Seawall Hands July 2013

just can't help it ..... while riding our bikes along the Galveston Seawall, I put on the breaks when I spotted these hands. You could not miss them, being smack in the middle of the path. I noticed a bench, artistically painted with a beach scene a few feet away... colors matched. Seems to me the artist had a "playful streak" in them, as do I... why not! Sure did bring a smile to my face!

perfect day to paint by "hand print"

This is Hand #53, Creation.... inside

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy,
if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand,
rejoice, for your soul is alive.
