Because of Martin

Rosa sat, so Martin could walk, so Obama could run, so someone could paint this on their house. Yes, it's been on display since the election.

Whether walking in the city or hiking in the woods, my eyes are drawn to the beauty often found in discarded and decaying objects. Apparently, I'm not alone.
