Sculpture in #AstorPlace NYC called The Last Three, representing the world’s remaining white rhinos. It memorializes Sudan, who died in March, leaving behind his daughter, Najin, and his granddaughter, Fatu. Yes, now there are only two! #GoodbyeSudan #GoodbyeRhinos #ProtectRhinos #NoPoaching #Wildlife #WhiteRhinos #Nature #WorldWildlifeFoundation #naturelovers #rhinos #naturephotography #animalkingdom #sudantherhino #nyc #streetart
#Repost @one_hawk_homestead with @get_repost ・・・ Sleeping bees are the cutest things ever 💛 and just look at all the pollen on their legs! They worked so hard yesterday.. (Can't beat the overnight accommodations, though 😉 they got the best room in the gardens!)
Another burst of color in #Brickell! There’s a surprise around every corner. #miami #artinthecity #downtownmiami #urbanart #cityscape #artlover #winelover
It’s always a good day for #CabernetFranc! In this case it’s a sparkler from #domainegasnier in the Loire Valley. Crisp flavors of cherry, black currant, and aromas of violets. Such a pleasure to drink on a hot, humid day. #winelover #drinkpink #rosé #cabfranc #frenchwine #bubbles #moorebrothers
Colorful characters populating Midtown Miami. I especially like the first one: not sure if he’s dancing or what, but he made me smile. Make today your best day yet, my friends! Have a colorful week. #miami #midtownmiami #streetart #artinthepark #welcometomiami #cityliving #lifeincolor #mondaymotivation
It’s Saturday night, it’s quiet, and that’s a reason to celebrate. This vino Spumante brut from @terramossa and @cantinabraschi in #EmiliaRomagna strikes the perfect note: refreshing, light, and a little bit festive. A blend of #Albana and #Trebbiano with flavors of citrus and just-ripe peach. Digging it! #italianfwt #spumante #nativegrapes #winelover #bubbles #relax #SaturdayNight
