Artwork of the Day: Road Work Ahead
Happy Labor Day! In honor of the holiday, I decided to share the one picture that I’ve taken with the word “work” in it.

Artwork of the Day: Forever
by Erin Nicole
I spotted this on a tree one day while I was exploring Lookout Park. It’s always stuck with me, that promise of “Forever” that’s sat there for who knows how many years. With summer coming to an end in just a few more days and 2021 also coming to a close, this just seemed like the right picture for the first day of September.
