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

A cool wind blowing in from the northwest, the midday play of light in the forest and the hypnotic sound of the rushing water: it was easy to spend the greater part of an hour here, all the while on the lookout for an “essence of stream” photograph. This was the one I liked the best, which coincidentally was the view that prompted the stop to begin with.

This man was on a cigarette break from his job at a local restaurant as I happened to be walking by. He told me of a family gathering at a nearby inn and encouraged a visit with his photographer son who was there. I did so as it was on my way, and met his wonderful extended family – slowly coming around from a night of celebration – and took a few more portraits.
