Suzanne’s mother-in-law, known on this blog as Stuga40 (see selfie below), flew from Sweden in March to hang out with family in Providence for a few weeks. She brought along her artist’s eye.
My husband and I had many nice walks with her, outdoor lunches, indoor conversations, and playtimes with grandchildren. Because of Covid, it had been three years since we’d seen her.
I wanted to share a few of Stuga40’s photos with you because I liked them so much.
Above, you see a view under the I-195 bridge over the Providence River, where a new bike trail passes. It reminded me of artists like Charles Sheeler, whose work was among those we saw on a rainy-day visit to the RISD [Rhode Island School of Design] Museum.
She also took shots of random things that intrigued her: utility-box art, a large mural, and the plant life we have all around us but don’t always notice.
When Stuga40 gets back to Sweden, I know she will continue to apply her connoisseur’s eye to the photos she takes on her walks around Stockholm. I hope to have some more to show anon.

Very nice!
It’s fun to see these places through a visitor’s eyes.
Lovely and original! 😉
Thank you. I especially love the shots of the bridge.
Thanks. I appreciated the long walks, talks and the effort to help me to catch up with time lost during Covid 19.
Fun for us, too!
What a fabulous eye she has! The first three are particularly striking.
Finding beauty in the constructed world is never a bad idea.
What a great eye. Wonderful photos. Thanks. Sibby
I love thinking of you way out there in the wild and woolly West checking in! Thanks for commenting, Sibby.
