It was very good sand art until the boy came along. His mom should have had more of an eye on him and more control over him! Some people just let their kids run wild and don't pay enough attention to them!!

When someone hurts us we should write it in sand so the winds of forgiveness can erase it away but, when someone does something good for us we should write it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.~
It looks like the Tibetan Monk had that figured out.
Nice artwork, great shot!

A click away from confession",
"Silence on the Hill", "A boy stomps on Monk's Sandart", I mean really, do you feel these topics are worthy the attention of the populance?

It seems to me there are many more worthy topics in the news at present. Like for instance, the passing of the War Funding Bill, Senator Clinton's No Vote on the contentious Iraq supplemental bill, the upcoming meeting with Iran and World Diplomats, US Aid Arrives in Lebanon, North Korea test missiles, et al.

I only wish our world concerns at present were as simplistic and non-threatening as the chosen topics appearing here. I certanily don't condemn lighter content every now and then but these topics are more on the level of Flaky and Out Of Touch With Reality.

The sand art was such a beautiful piece, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been.

I'm familiar with the old Union Station, been there many times. My first thought was to find out if the area was barricaded, which it was, so Mom is the guilty party here. (Sorry, Mom, we all know how fast these little boys can move)

I have only one regret! Where was this precious child when Christo was stringing that horrible yellow stuff all over the park, and when the really, really, ugly ENORMOUS, out of place shuttlecock was placed on the lawn of the Nelson Atkins Art Museum?

That little boy spent some minutes away from his Mother, and I bet she'd be the first one to b*tch and moan if he was snatched by someone looking to hurt a little kid. Both should be punished.

Good parenting there, mom. Nice way to teach accountability by picking up the kid and skedaddling.

Here! Here! I'm completely with Tricia. There's so many important topics I'm always hoping to see on this blog each day, but often they're not there. I too enjoy the occasional light-hearted fare, but at least it should be accompanied by a few other serious posts.

With that in mind, thank you for all involved in putting this together for us to communicate to each other all the time. I always look forward to contributions by the regulars on this blog.
