Stoney Run Henge
There's a park about a five minute drive from our house. It's in the swankiest part of Baltimore, and by living in the lesser neighborhood next door, we take full advantage of their fringe swank benefits, like the brand new superfresh, the best school district in Baltimore (we actually don't take advantage of that, but dammit, if we only could!), and Stoney Run park. It's a lovely little wooded park with a stream running through it that has about a mile-long loop for walking and pooping in (if you're a dog) (the swanky folks don't take too kindly to people pooping in it). So some industrious artiste has put together a little Stonehenge at the base of a tree near the stream:
And for scale:
It conjures up Andy Goldsworthy (hideous site, but lots of nice pix) - someone sneaking around in the woods, looking to stir up trouble. There used to be a bench farther along with a cement baby sitting on it, with one leg broken off, that freaked Iggy out every time we went by. I guess it freaked someone else out too, because it's not there anymore.
And for scale:
And, it's spring. These little flowers are coming up all over, and are such an electric blue, I had to check to make sure they were real. Indeed, they are:
I made another interesting find:
The blue in it is mostly reflected sky. And, I don't know what happened to the rest of the bird, but there was no sign of it. I guess it was time to shed its wings.
