Wanderlust & Wonderment 
So many fun spots and dots – the clock in Germany is my favorite of the post – the side angle gives a feel for the size and strength of material (and dots)
That Sunflower caught my eyes. Pretty and Bright!
Nice!
A fantastic variety! Here’s so much to see, so much! An amazing gallery indeed. Love the animals of course, the flowers…and all! The clock in Germany and the light tunnel in the Chicago Botanic Gardens. You really took us around the world!
An amazing palette of spots and dots. Very nice 🙂
Wonderful display of spots and dots. I traveled vicariously through you.
Excellent collection of some amazing spots and dots. Especially loved the piece from the museum in Brazil.
Fascinating! I love the spotted animals. I’ve never heard of genets, but just now read a bit on Wikipedia. Are the lodge genets semi-domesticated?
