Up, down, inside and out, Brisbane is an arty city!
Note: Here in the U.S., ‘museums’ can have art, science, and sometimes both. In the States, ‘galleries’ are just for buying art. However, in Australia, science goes into a museum and art goes into a gallery that maybe sells, maybe doesn’t.
Brisbane, Australia, dazzles the senses indoors and out. Though we only had a day there, several sights were a short walk apart. After meeting some beasts, we strolled to the Queensland Art Gallery (QAGOMA), where there’s sooo much wonderful art!…

Happiness Between Tails blog/podcast speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, reading — and of my still-unreleased novels. “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat,” are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find love and happiness with or without a partner.

Love the photos! You always end up experiencing the most amazing adventures, don’t you? 🙂
I think the last museum I visited was the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland. Loved it! Even the little pieces on Dutch artwork (which just goes to show there’s no escaping my heritage, lol!)
