Peace and rainbows

The weekend before we headed to Japan, we came across lots of moments of peace and rainbows - sometimes you see them, sometimes you don't.

Here on the block, the peace flags were flying with a big blue sky. This one tells the story of so many years of hanging the flags in this tree - the remnant strings...


More remnants...


One piece flag had fluttered to the ground and we tucked it under a rusty 'sculpture' along the drive. We had taken this tree down a while ago and a neighbour offered to use their tractor to pull the stump out of the ground. We decided we would rather leave it there to act as a base for random rusty things, as you do, and they are weathering together nicely.



And whilst in town we came across this set of stairs that somebody - artist unknown - had made crayon or chalk rainbows along. I loved them!





 Peace and rainbows - two of my favourite things.

  2. Just catching up with all your latest posts. Japan looked every bit as fascinating as I thought it would be but it sounds good to be home. Those steps are a joy. Are they leading anywhere?

    1. No where really special Leslie - the back of the Community Centre here in town, but aren't they great? Japan was wild and fun and busy and we were well cared for - and yes, tis good to be home. Go well.

  4. Aren't you afraid the strings will somehow inhibit the growth of the tree? Love those rainbow steps.

    1. Love those rainbows steps too Jo! The strings aren't tight and the tree is tall so I think I'll just keep collecting them year in, year out...
