The Rainblossom Project:
Reflected in a puddle of melted snow, people and dogs walk past umbrellas suspended from trees at Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia. The art installation, called the “Rainblossom Project”, was put up by an anonymous group to be a celebration of the rain the city receives.

I love this!
Me too!
Great images – and it’s not even raining!
Smiling. Great observation…
Delightful! This calls to mind Christo’s “Gates” project in Central Park, which I was fortunate enough to experience and LOVED….

Yes, similar feel…and you were blessed to see it. Amazing.

This is beautiful! Christo also wrapped islands in Miami with pink cloth. It was controversial at the time, though also beautiful.
Yes, it was beautiful Carolann
This makes my little heart happy. I love the whimsical feel and that it’s an art installation that I actually get. The pictures are beautiful; I wish I could see this in person. Thank you for sharing!
Me too…photos made me want to walk right there right now.
Very cool! I love the red umbrellas!
Yes, there is something about red umbrellas that make them irresistible.

They are Carol. Gotta love the creatives that come up with these ideas.
So true about the umbrellas in Vancouver. Same weather applies on Vancouver Island but, not being in the city, we wear hooded jackets, leaving our hands free to do useful things.
🙂 yes…
