"Hare And Tortoise", bronze sculpture by Nancy Schon
Something brightened my day one rainy fall afternoon on my first trip to a charming place called Boston 
Although there was a bit of hemming and hawing while planning the long haul ( 20 hours!!!), stumbling upon things like these can make me forget about the fatigue and slight weather-related mood swings (even for just a bit).
Just a few days before the surprise and severe snowstorm battered the East coast late October (not the best way to introduce snow to me for the first time, I tell you), my husband took me on a stroll around the parks and brought me to Copley Square.
And there we met the bronze sculpture created by Nancy Schon: “Hare And Tortoise” — a witty and wonderfully creative tribute to all runners who attend the Boston Marathon flying in from all over.
Dedicated to one of the world’s oldest foot races, celebrates winning by virtue of perseverance, focus… and wit
Reblogged this on Jar Of Salt and commented:
Peace and prayers for everyone in Boston…
Once in awhile I miss my old home town. Wish you had more pics…
Thanks for dropping in. Fell in love with Boston but it was just so chilly my hands were in my coat pockets almost all the time. Picking up the camera was like holding a block of ice!
Might have something to do with why I’m not there any more. Summer is way hot and humid. Like my current climate much better. But it’s always nice to see a peek of it nevertheless. (and thank YOU for dropping in, too!!
)
Hot and humid is our life 365 days of the year (90% level)! Boston and NYC were my first taste of biting East Coast weather (add to that the snowstorm in October!). Would be nice to live in a climate somewhere in between
Boston is rather beautiful in the summer. Just don’t go down to the river to watch the POPS concert if you don’t like crowds!
I just realized I missed this comment, sorry! I’ve been wanting to watch them so I guess I’ll pop in again when it’s a bit cooler
