99. Go to 3 Art Festivals - #1 Denver Chalk Art Festival, June 2, 2012

Every year that I've lived in Denver, I've always wanted to go to the Chalk Arts Festival downtown.  And every year I've not made it there...except this year!  I finally made it there and it was just as fabulous as I thought it would be!  The artists create wonderful images on the streets made from only chalk and their imaginations.  Here are some images that I captured while Brian and I walked around, enjoying our festival date night. 


Our first turn of the block and it's already impressive!  We went on the first afternoon so most of the works were in progress. 






I wish I could have seen these finished.  I have a friend that has some pictures of these all done and they looked fantastic! 



This one made me think of my sister Ashlee.  It was really, really pretty! 

Here are a couple of my favorites:






This one was probably my absolute favorite out of all of them. 



Optical illusion, very cool!

I might have to try this next year.  Or maybe I'll put it on my next 101 list...and just start looking into it for now.

We look funny in these pics because everything is so stretched :)

About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Rapid City, SD. Loved growing up there and am a little sad that my theoretical kids won't be able to grow up there - unless, God forbid, I move back. I moved away for college to Omaha, NE. I went to Creighton University. Great education, great professors - not a good place for young people with an itch for action! I moved to Denver in August of 2004 and love it! I recommend that all people live in at least one other place besides their hometown - the world is so full of opportunities, we just have to move out of comfort zones!
