Swingers!




I unintentionally took an entire month off from the blog, and what inspires me to get back on?  Swinging!  I stopped for a swing under the East 7th Street bridge while on a lovely Saturday evening bike ride with Allison.  I noticed recently that these red planks and ropes of childlike enticement had mysteriously sprung from the concrete rafters, but this is the first time I've slowed down enough to hop on.  The seats give away their origins with a stencil of their makers:  The Red Swing Project.  "We anonymously hang red swings in public places inspiring playfulness around the world."  Beautiful.
