Art in Nature

Their is a wonderful thing happening now.  Fall.  This was always my mother's favorite time of year until recently, it is becoming mine too.  Maybe it has to do with getting married in the fall or that I live in a place where their is a fall.  Either way, both are amazing reasons to love this time of year.  So, pull out those wonderful decorations because fall is the only season that the decorations can stay up the longest.

I had a wonderful weekend.  My town holds a huge bluegrass festival and I finally went to it with a friend.  I really enjoy the music so the festival just made it that much more exciting.  Then, my friend and I took my son to a wildlife park for him to interact with some amazing animals.  A weekend full of great things in this wonderful fall-like weather.

I like to introduce you to new artist I stumble across now and then and today, I have a new one for you.  Jason deCaires Taylor is a sculptor who likes to place his sculptures in the ocean.  Seems like a silly thing to think of, no one can see them. But, yet he places them there so you have to actively seek them.  A clever thing to do to draw appeal.  His art is made of non-hazardous material that welcomes coral to grow.  Taylor believes that the ocean does not get as much credit as it deserves and wanted to place his art there so, people will explore the ocean to find it.  We as people sometimes forget the wonders the ocean can hold.  On land, beauty is so much easier to reach that we spend most of our time enjoying what is easily attained.  If exploring under the waves was easier, then I like to imagine more people would travel to see the beauty it keeps.  Enjoy this artist's work and maybe before it gets too cold, explore the world underneath the water.
