Among the sights I’ve wanted to photograph in the last few weeks is a sculpture outside the Umbrella Community Arts Center. It invites you to look through and focus on an aspect of the view.
Next up, the old house where Ephraim Bull developed the Concord Grape. Another sign there told me that there was a “Sale Pending.”
My friend Meredith is a featured artist at Concord Art’s new juried show. She has done several treatments of her fica plant, but the one in the show is a lovely collage of painted paper.
I recently discovered on a morning walk that the Providence Preservation Society has generously opened its multilevel garden to the public during certain hours of the day. What a peaceful place to just sit and think! Not far away is the What Cheer Garage (I like the name). Across Providence, you can discover a fine-looking hen on the wall of Olga’s Cup and Saucer, and a street art stencil recommending Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil.
I also like the alley alongside the Providence Performing Arts Center and a hilly street that looks more like Europe than New England.
I like “what cheer garage” at 160 benefit street–could be in a novel.
Perhaps you could find a way to work it into one of yours. Even tho I’m not far from the age of Genia (one past back), who just made her first film, I doubt I’ll be writing any novels.
You do have a great eye for the quirky and interesting!
Thanks! One thing I’d like to get better at is finding unusual angles for the pretty flowers and yards that I can’t resist but that get repetitious. Maybe a worm’s-eye view? Maybe a worm.
Nice to see photos of the old hometown. Waving from Wyoming en route to Portland, hopefully the new hometown.
Wow, exciting, Judith! You mean you sold your house but don’t have a new one yet? Send me a report.
