Inauguration art and poetry

[darkemeralds]

This is beautiful.

Art work and words about Inauguration Day, Washington, and America. Brought tears to my eyes. Especially the helicopter.

Oh so lovely. Thank you for sharing that. The plastic flowers in the rest stop bathroom made me teary-eyed, for some reason.

And I, too, loved the helicopter image. I would make a great LJ icon, non? It used another pic on my blog that I thought was particularly apropos...you'll appreciate it:

Glad you enjoyed. It delighted me on so many levels. I think it was the juxtaposition of "plastic" and "noble" in the postcard of the restroom flowers that touched me, but yeah, can't say exactly why.

I liked your icon idea.

Hee! I like.

At that scale, it looks more like a dragonfly than a helicopter with the second vilest human in the world on board. There's something very poetic about that.

Hee! I know! Isn't it awesome?

Though, dragonflies of the world resent the implication.
