"Oh! Look how cute you all are! Where is this? Santa Cruz?"
"Yeah. We were walking down to the beach."
"You have such a beautiful smile. I wish you'd stand up straight though."
"Mom. Stop it. Didn't you notice the tree?"
"What? Oh! Why is that there?"
"Somebody just did it. Isn't it cool? It's called 'urban knitting'. Here, look at these..."
"Wow. That's, um, very interesting. They do that without permission? Like tagging? I guess it's better than spray-painted graffitti. Will it hurt the trees?"
"Oh my god, Mom. No, I don't think so. It's just supposed to be pretty."
"Well, it is that. Where did you find these?"
"Can I blog this? Can I use your picture?"
"Sure."

That's so cool!! I love the dichotomy between the two..that's original!
It's so funny you said "can I blog this"...I think that all the time too. Glad you did.
Best,

hi tracy,

Hi Janet!
Nope. That's Hannah on the left, Marisa in the middle and my Katey on the right. Telling her she should stand up straight (when it's not even necessary) was a total "mom moment" on my part. And obviously not what she expected when showing me this photo! But I couldn't help myself... it just blurted out!

What a project! Tree outfit. Never thought it would be a fashion statement...lol
That's a new one on me, but very interesting. Your daughter and her friends are darling!
That is so wild! I have never seen or heard of this! I can see how in an urban setting it could be very interesting!
Your daughters and their friend are all adorable! Ahh youth!!

That is so cool!! It would totally make my day to wander past a tree like that. :)
I just love these! I have never seen anything like this before! I wonder if I could do it??? I smell a challenge (I've been studying these photos for a few minutes now).
Guerrilla art! Talk about your random acts of senseless beauty...
