Recently a Children's Festival was held in downtown St. Paul. These banners were stretched in various designs near the historic Landmark Center Building. To me they seem to be symbolic of life, in a way. They can be stretched and formed to make a beautiful design, as we often do with our own life, yet the fabric of life is fragile and needs care and attention so that it doesn't rent and tear. But,if that should occur, it needs experts and technicians to help restore it to its original shape or something closely approximating the original.
Many of you asked about my sister. Amazingly she's on her way to recovery...slowly, but we are very encouraged. I had lots to do as an advocate for ongoing treatment and to set up her living quarters to facilitate her daily schedule but it's working out, with the help of her children. Now we all need to move on to enjoy the beautiful colours and design of life!
Beautiful Kate... the photo and your words. I, too, am glad your sister is better.

you're right! it could be an expression of life fragility, very poetic!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your sister is better, really glad!
Take care, Kate!
I wish all the best to your sister!
ReplyDeleteThe composition of the first photo is great!!
Thanks for the encouraging news about your sister!
ReplyDeleteThis is really a splendid idea! ... to see that you can do something relatively simple and tasteful like this to make your surrounding look even nicer. You are at the same time not really changing or "destroying" anything, so one day, if you get tired of it and want something else, you can take them away or replace by something different.
Really nice and nicely illustrated! Thanks!
The writing is good and the setting for the photo or the photo is great. I like the looks of the buildings a lot and the colorful thingys just makes them stand out.
ReplyDeleteAll good news.
