In the spirit of Valentine's Day

To celebrate Valentine's Day and a belated thank you for those who sent me hearts.

Here's a photo I took ages ago (2010) and I believe I entered it in one of the DU photo contests not too long after that. I've reprocessed it. Forgive me for not posting something more recent... I don't think I have anything else that would fit the occasion.

This photo is from one of the displays at a community garden in Vancouver (Canada) at the time of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The community garden was converted into a sort of outdoor mini art exhibition. The community garden was located in the heart of the downtown east side, which was and still is one of the major poverty stricken areas. The exhibit was to support the artists of in that area. Sadly, I don't know who the artist who created this particular display was.
