Back home and doing well. Thought I might work on my queue today but decided to try and catch up with all my mutuals today!

Maybe a few more days and I can get back and work on my queue.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

Art in the Stations: Grand Circus Park

Grand Circus Park is my third stop in Art in the Stations, and the Detroit People Mover I frequent the most. Connected to the David Whitney Building, Grand Circus Park is also home to the D2A2 bus to Ann Arbor, the QLINE, and several DDOT and SMART connections.

"Catching Up" by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. is one of my favorite sculptures on the city, and perfectly representing the bustling Grand Circus Park station. I smile every time I mistake him for a real-life person; the life-size statue resembles a passenger waiting for the morning train.

The Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News are both featured in this work, carefully detailing each word on the bronze newspaper pages.

Check out the Grand Circus Historic District and my own favorite spots in the neighborhood.

Hey man, I'm gonna be in town for a couple of days. I was hoping we could put some sudden, undue pressure on this already unstable friendship. Let me know.

My parents took us to all kinds of natural wonders when we were kids. One park, Callaway Gardens, was a frequent stop in my Georgia childhood. They had magnolia trees to scale, squirrels to chase, a lake to swim in, and--best of all--a giant butterfly garden. A huge glass room filled to the brim with monarch butterflies, eating sweet bananas and fluttering overhead like magic. I have patchy memories of interpretive signage and guides telling us about these sharply bedecked orange-and-black creatures: I learned about aposematic signaling from their bright colors, as well as Batesian mimicry--they tasted so bad to birds, that other butterflies mimicked them in appearance to gain the defense. Once when one landed on my hand to "lick" off some errant soda I'd spilled earlier, it was like a kiss from a wild thing--and I resolved to repeat the spill whenever I came back.⠀ ⠀ Their erratic orange magic continued outside the glass building--at home, at school, wandering through meadows at church, fluttering through my mother's garden. Monarchs, everywhere, all over the place, common as clouds. They were a constant presence in my Southern childhood. ⠀ ⠀ When I see one now, it is with the nostalgic delight of meeting an old friend--tempered by a sorrow I can't quite put into words. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarchs have declined in my part of the world by more than 80% in the last two decades. This tracks with my anecdotal observations of seeing them less and less often over the years, even though I spend much of my time outside--alignment between the big and small pictures. A once everyday sight, increasingly rare. ⠀ ⠀ Since I struggle with capturing the sorrow in my own words, I will borrow those of William Beebe:⠀ ⠀ "...when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again."⠀ ⠀ #monarchbutterfly #acrylic #painting #art #illustration #monarch #habitatloss #climatechange #reflection #fiveyearsold #30years #30paintings #catchingup #butterfly #butterflybushes #flowers #gardens #colors #biodiversity #hopeforbetter https://www.instagram.com/p/CRlfOy5jjon/?utm_medium=tumblr
