Charter Street Playground - Kindergarden


I saw the charter street playground for the first time when the kindergardeners were out playing in the yard. Every single child had a hat on. I don't know if it's kindergarden policy so they can keep track of their kids, or if the children of Boston's north end are very sun sensitive. Anyway, the "garden" is all brick paving, but with the bushes, trees, and park benches it's a lovely place - not at all the "concrete jungle" it sounds. I thought that big people should be able to play here too, not just the wee ones.

for illustration friday



in india last month a pregnant bengal tiger was chased up a palm tree by terrified villagers. she was rescued (after being tranquilised), treated for injuries, and released into a tiger preserve. i saw a photo of her at the moment of her release. she was in a cage on a boat, and the door of the cage opened over the side of the boat, which was in shallow water (a foot or two). the boat was loaded down with people, and the door was opened. she leaped, swam to the shore, and made for the sanctuary of the forest. Thank you, tiger rescuers.
