To Atlanta and Back Again -

I'm apparently on a quest to photograph airport art now.

(which is harder to do if your time is tight. Or you are traveling with a destination-oriented husband :-).

I could barely keep up in the 'rainbow corridor' in Chicago!

But spring is in full swing and gorgeous in Georgia. Had a nice, quick! time of visiting and family dinner. (And boiled peanuts for breakfast. Definitely in the South!)

Happy 80th to the mother-in-law.

Ruminations at the airport -

It was a long airport day. My flight and my daughter's were leaving at the same time, but since hers was an international one we had to be there very early. She met up with her lucky Great-Britain-going group and shooed me off...

...which gave me time to contemplate the various sculptures and installations seen in my concourse for this flight. Seatac airport has many -

-some of which are downright bizarre! (this one always reminds me of intestinal segments...)

This large window installation reminds me of Eastern European folk art...

- Folk art and mythology... It is lovely and even easier to see on a grey day.

Directly across from my gate, I could see the-daughter's concourse (although her plane was around the other side of it). I had to wave good-bye from across the drizzly tarmac...

...while the various airplane tails circled and moved over the pavement in a way rather reminiscent of shark fins in the grey water. (Maybe I'm just missing her, traveling "alone", for such a long way, for the first time. :-)
