119: Walking


My son and I took a walk around our neighborhood this morning. In theory, it was a photowalk for both us, but he's easily frustrated by his camera, and handed it off to me early on.


After lunch, all four of us headed over to Belle Isle. We spotted this collection of blue items on one of the old bridge piers almost immediately, but couldn't tell what we were seeing until we got home and looked at the photos on the computer. A village! Complete with steepled church, lighthouse and houses on the hill. Such a  neat find. Click on the photo to see a larger version of the Little Blue Village.


And a few of the other sights and activities we saw while exploring the island today...

  3. The village is still there!!! I haven't been back to Belle Isle since seeing it last fall. Like you, I couldn't tell what it was until I looked at it on the computer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/theloushe/5170784354

  4. I think it's a really cool installation, but part of me wonders about placing it in such a way that it's not entirely visible to the naked eye. But since we both went home and got excited about it, I suppose it's successful in that sense.

  5. The village is cool. My fave pic is the third one down.

  6. I like that one, too, Angie. (I guess that's understood-- I wouldn't post it if I didn't like it!) But it doesn't show well in this small size. I'm glad you noticed and appreciated it. :)
