The bus tour gave them 45 minutes to roam about this park in the middle of Canberra called “Garema” Place.
“Hell, Esther, if I’da wanted to look at weird metal sheep sitting on a bench, I’da made one at home,” Billy Jim stood with his big belly balanced by hands on hips. “Mighty dumb, if ya ask me.”
‘Glad I didn't ask.’ Esther Sue mentally responded. She came to a lonely plaque on the sidewalk. As she read it silently, a tear slid down her cheek. ‘Well, at least you rejoiced when it came, Linette Bone.’
Billy Jim hollered, “Time to git back on the bus. Git on over here, woman!”
Esther sighed, looking one last time at the plaque. ‘Hope you were loved, ….’ Then she joined Billy on the bus.
This was a photo prompt from May 2012. Its story, told in few words, touched me deeply.
Here are some other art displays at Garema Place in Canberra, Australia:

I remember when she posted the photo of that sign...makes you want to know the back story doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe back story and the future..I do wonder about that plaque.
DeleteThat is quite the art and each see things in a different light
ReplyDeletecan you imagine the time those sheep took in creation?
DeleteSame artwork, different views. Some people just don't see.
ReplyDeletethat is it exactly: some don't see.
DeleteI stop each time I go into town and read it. And wonder. And hope that Ms Bone and her child (which for some reason I see as a daughter) continue to be blest.
ReplyDeleteThis was an inspired photo, Sue, and I appreciate it so much. Glad you can see it literally.
DeleteThat is a plaque that piques the curiosity!! And phooey to the partner, some folks are better left at home w/their TV. ;)
ReplyDelete...and I know at least one of them!!
DeleteBilly the bully strikes again. (I knew a Billy who was a bully).
ReplyDeleteNice to know I'm not the only one sometimes moved to tears by a plaque.
Elephant Child's put this photo prompt out there, and the few words on the plaque created such images.
