In Copley Square, there is a fountain where I like to sit, eat my hot dog, and then, if I’m lucky, photograph leaves floating on the surface of the water. This week few leaves floated but there was plenty of trash, and the trash was blocking some sort of vent or drain and so the water was swirling erratically. And then a little kid poured in a bottle of bubbles, and somebody’s dog jumped in to chase the pigeons and I thought, quite frankly, “This sucks.” But then you know what happened as it always does? The sun came out … The trash did not disappear but there was a beauty revealed, too, I think. But that’s just my perspective.
Words + Images 
Nature’s abstracts. Beautiful. I especially like the 4th one.
Seeing that abstract beauty did make the day so much better. Glad you enjoyed. 😉

I agree with you…you can find beauty in everything. But I don’t like people throwing trash into water for any reason.
Not sure if people threw the trash in or if the wind blew it into the water. Quite a wind tunnel in Copley Square sometimes. But that idea of finding beauty … so worth the effort. Take care! 😉

Yes, it does suck. The 3rd and 4th images in particular are beautiful though and would make lovely prints.
Thanks for that suggestion. We’ll see what happens. 😉

I’d love to have these all over a wall.
Makes for phenomenal abstracts! And I don’t notice any trash! 🙂
