The Red Umbrella

Have you ever seen those interactive ads for Travelers Insurance that are projected on the walls at some airports?  We've seen them at Bradley Airport in Hartford and at the Minneapolis Airport.  

Mr. Hunter finally asked if he could get in on the action and set some of the umbrellas in motion.

The umbrella, waiting.

See for yourself...

The little red umbrellas are on the move.

Connecticut sculpture safari

Mr. Hunter spotted these tremendous metal sculptures on their way into Kent, Connecticut.  Naturally we had to stop so that Mr. H could pose with a few of them.

These pieces are by a sculptor named Denis Curtiss.

If you happen to be driving through Cornwall Bridge, keep an eye out for the yard with these (and many more) bronze beasties.

Mr. Hunter on Exhibit

Mr. Hunter and his friends were hanging out in Kent, Connecticut when they encountered these sculptures in the courtyard at Kent Town Center.  

As you can see, Mr. H felt a strong affinity with the stone statues.

Turns out these pieces were part of an official outdoor exhibition at Eckert Fine Art.

The artist is Boaz Vaadia.
