I have several new electronics that are filled with more functions than I will ever need, but I'm trying to learn some of them because they are useful. But motivation is a problem because I'm old enough to have known a world before a computer was attached to everything (and it was quite a fine world, at that), so I'm not driven to be tech savvy. However, I've been trying to get out of my lazy comfort zone and embrace the new possibilities that are before me. And that's a whole lot of words to say: I tried out the camera on my new cell phone this weekend on another visit to Carroll Creek Park. More study and practice are needed, but below are a few pictures of our walk.
 |
| One end of the park is filled with kinetic sculptures that all move with the wind. This one is "The Tree of Life". |
 |
| If you look closely, you can see how it got its name. |
 |
| "Rotary Lotus" The petal levels of this one turn in different directions. |
 |
| "Three Little Birds" If you look closely among the leaves, you will see two flying birds on the ends of the top cross arm. The third one is perched on the lowest branch. |
 |
| "Together as One" |
 |
| "Water Lily with Dragon Fly" |
 |
| "Murmuration" |
 |
| "An Elusive Kinetic Portrait" When the angle is correct, you can see the portrait of Theophilus Thompson in the middle, the earliest documented African American chess expert. He wrote a book on chess published in 1873. |
There were many more beautiful things to see along the waterway, but I'll leave you today with just the kinetic sculptures.
Until next time...
