Just one of the quirky things at Mystery Castle in Phoenix, Arizona. The house was built over 15 years from recycled materials - a "castle" the builder promised to build his daughter when they made sand castles at the beach. Usually open to the public Thursdays through Sunday from
October to May, it is currently closed due to COVID-19.

Donkeys on back roads on this beautiful Caribbean island. Wild donkeys serenaded us at night when we were in our secluded cottage.

I saw this sculpture a couple of years ago at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. One of the sculpted persons is practicing #socialdistancing - museum is currently closed but is well worth visiting when the crisis is over and the museum opens up again.
