Wherever we roam, I love to look for graffiti or the ever famous wall/building art. Lucky for me Portland Maine has both.  

This parking lot speaks volumes to me. Such a community art project which evolves daily due to the variety of autos that park there. Love the sun shining on the lighthouse while artists have claimed their fame with increbile colors. 

And this building, from plans to building. Amazing tromp l'oeil. Portland holds many such treasures but for me I just needed a little pause in my day, a little I don't know quoi while I waited for my wandering children. A pass by the bard was in order.

I really appreciate a barista who makes art in my cup. This barista read my mind with the heart in the foam. I just really love my coffee. Sorry but I can't help it. After sitting a spell my roving children, who know their mother well, found me here and suggested we go to one of our favorite restaurants for lunch, Flatbread. " Mom, I've been dreaming of Flatbread since we've left the last time."

I just love it when I can make their dreams come true. Especially the simple kind.

This is a lovely organic restaurant right on the waterfront. Announcing the area farms where your food comes from, is just another way to "Meet What You Eat".

Inside is a "wood fire breathing" oven as my son would say. Nothing could kiss a pat of dough with fresh vegetables on it than this oven. It gives a brilliant glow and warm atmosphere to our meal.
