The Balloon Guy

180. March to a Different Drummer

Marching to a Different Drummer

I went to the Farmers Market this morning. The April-through-October weekly ritual begins. I bought some spinach and a few flowers to plant, and took some photos of the Market and the crowd and the Capitol Building. (The Market is on the Capitol Square in Madison; the Capitol Building is in the center of the Square.)

On my way to the car, I noticed this delightful bit of graffiti. I love the balloon guy!

About Bo Mackison

I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.

    This is SO perfect! I love the balloon guy, too! he’s showing up in my journal. Thanks for posting this–it takes a real discerning eye to get this.

  2. That is neat. He’s like the payoff for looking at all the rest – easy to miss if you assume each is the same.

  3. How wonderful! Great capture, Bo. 🙂

  4. Terrific piece of wall art. I – too – love the little guy with the balloon. Great eye!

  5. I think if I were one of the little guys captured on the wall, I would be the one holding the balloon. Nice capture Bo…

    Love it! That is so cool. A couple more years and I am out of that rat race.
