You know, art is all around us. Sometimes the non-art-supporters are not aware of how much and often we use the fine arts in our everyday lives. Art impact all that we do, see, make and use in every day life. We just have to look for it! This is in the Arctic Ring of Life at the Detroit Zoo. Just beautiful--
