Art Repurposed … Beautifully

For a while, if you visit The Shop at Trinity Church in Copley Square, Boston, and wander over to the children’s section, you will see an array of paper cranes dangling from the ceiling…
… like a wave of birds in flight …
… colors bright and warm …
… shadows cast upon the ceiling in the wavering lights.
The birds were made by Anulfo Baez, a guest contributor on this site before. Upon learning that Shop staff were contemplating a new window display involving birds, he donated his origami creations. Several hundred in number, he had originally intended to make 1,000. Do you know the lore surrounding One Thousand Cranes?
Even if you do know, read Anulfo’s story, One Thousand Paper Cranes for Japan. While he did not reach his original goal, I think what he did create will bring a bit of brightness and joy into the life of anyone who has the opportunity to see his art repurposed.
Back at the Parking Lot …

After work today I revisited that parking lot I mentioned in an earlier post. I am still quite amazed at what’s to be found in the narrow bands of greenspace of an urban office park.
And finally can you see the two hawks on the poles? Since I didn’t have the equipment to shoot them clearly at a distance, I just enjoyed standing and watching them fly around for a while. 😉

Interiors

Tulips are not my favorite flowers nor do I usually select pink-budded anything. Yet over the weekend on a whim I picked up a bouquet of pink tulips, narrow heads still tightly closed, to fill an empty vase in the kitchen. For days, as the flowers slowly opened, I kept focusing on the exterior, admiring the loving pink tones of the petals, thinking I might take a few shots at some point. Then this morning I caught a glimpse of each flowers interior. Of course, there went my morning. 😉
As for that hike …

… it was to a lovely, if chilly, new spot for us, the Cutler Park Reservation. We managed to do a loop around Kendrick Pond before the cold was just too much. I’m looking forward to revisiting, especially in warmer weather.
