I mentioned in my last post that I don’t often take pictures of people. I often prefer the absence of people in my images to force you to see the space or the building. That said, I am again doing a post with images of people, well, a mother and child in particular.
A few weeks back while walking through Grant Park near Michigan Ave just south of Congress, I noticed a mother and child (center) nestled among the new spring flowers in the distance. I was quite captured by this and as we walked toward the General John Logan Memorial in the distance, I took several shots of these two playing in the grass.
Zooming in, it looks as though they are right in the middle of the flowers.
And for some 16:9 goodness…
Now up at the base of the memorial looking back.
As I was getting ready to put the camera away, I caught them playing paddy-cake. If this child’s mother is indeed as loving as has appeared here, he is a very lucky child.
This is slightly unrelated, but I shot this fountain as I was walking towards the memorial. You can see it in the first image on the left.
