2018 Miscellany #9—summer pictures

I had two snaps at this one before the butterfly skedaddled. This one the foreground is in focus, and the brick background is fuzzy, in the other—vice versa. A couple of days before, a hummingbird posed for a second and flittered away. This coneflower does get visitors.

At lower Edgewater Park, there are merchants gathered at the triathlon. Looking at these wheels is as good as looking at the infinity mirrors installation at Cleveland Art Museum.

This tin man sits above a business on East 152nd in Collinwood. An earlier one had been shot up some. I found reference to this on Roadside America.  Sheet Metal Workers Local 33 Cleveland District had another tin man at their (old) union hall.

Last night was very pleasant at Hardesty Park on Market Street.  It seems everything in Akron is on Market Street, or a block away. The Akron Symphony Orchestra came. A bassist, looked through the early crowd to greet dogs. Why? because dogs are great. They played Sousa, movie scores, music from Alfred Hitchcock [Good evening], and the Barber came out. Cicadas had a musical statement to play, while the playground equipment was much in use.
