Pink for the girls and blue for the boys?? Green for the pets? #34420

You know, Carolyn, I wondered that very thing myself! LOL! Not being a fan of such structures, I didn't want to find out for myself. :-) #94902

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

I noticed there's a parking meter--are these pay-toilets :0) A little potty humor to go along with your subject matter, Patricia. #94922

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

LOL - nice capture Patricia! #94933

Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019

LOL Too funny, Patricia. You too, Carolyn and Murry! :) #94939

Joy Brown May 26, 2019

Great shot, Patricia - love it! #94946

Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019

Thank you, Murry, Damian, Kathleen and Joy! Murry, I was wondering if someone would mention that meter! This whole scene just made me laugh. I found it amusing that at a high-class art fair, some "artistic" porta-potties would be brought in. Just goin' with the theme, I guess. :-) #95029

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

And I'm sure there as designer TP to complete the ensemble... #95048

Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019

Yes, probably TP designed by the same person who conceived of "Chromatic Gate"! LOL! #95058

Wolfgang Dolak May 26, 2019

Nice perspective, Patricia. I hope you have recovered from your illness!

Hi Birdie! I am almost back to 100%, thank you so much for asking. Going back to work today a day early to try to catch up! #95256

Colorful and fun image.
Lots of interesting comments, as well.
Nicely done.

Thanks, Bill. Didn't know how others would react to my subject matter here, but the colors were just too vivid to pass this up without snapping a photo. :-) #95455

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

LOL - you know Patricia - I consider that Chromatic Gate and eyesore... and to have it at the beach.... what where they thinking? #95462

Patricia Marroquin May 26, 2019

Oh, is that where they put it -- the beach? Ouch! I'll take a smiling sun statue any day! See what you can do about that, Damian. ;-) #95472

Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

I've just the thing - see I was thinking of you today! #95481
