lorraine and her flamingos-9118

Looking for photographs around New England (and elsewhere) brings me into contact with some wonderful people, and this woman was no exception. I almost missed her “flamingo installation”, a couple of doors down from an old brick colonial that had caught my eye driving by. She was more than happy to share a number of flamingo stories, and her passion for the place of whimsy in the world came through loud and clear.

Coincidentally, today’s email from the website www.gratefulness.org (Word For the Day – highly recommended) provides further commentary:

Monday, Jun. 9

“If there is anything I have learned about men and women, it is that there is a deeper spirit of altruism than is ever evident. Just as the rivers we see are minor compared to the underground streams, so, too, the idealism that is visible is minor compared to what people carry in their hearts unreleased or scarcely released.”

Dr. Albert Schweitzer

Some trepidation, perhaps, before the drumming began? Once it started though – he was locked in!

Part of the “orchestra pit”, where five separate drum circles provided the rhythms and song for the dancers.
