Everybody is a Star

When the butterflies left (flew away from?) Michigan Avenue, I wondered what would be next. At first, I thought it was going to be flowers since I saw a couple of different ones.

But then I realized that those were just part of the spring landscaping. After a while, a few art pieces appeared. Spying them from the bus windows, I thought they were meant to be buildings, but when I looked at them from different angles, I realized they were Chicago stars. They didn’t have any placards with information, but by using the Google search feature on my phone, I found out that the “Rising Star” or “Everybody is a Star” sculptures were commissioned by the Magnificent Mile Association and painted by artists from the Englewood Arts Collective.

There is one more inside Water Tower Place but I haven’t stopped in there yet. So that makes 6 not nearly as many as the lions a British family I follow on Instagram are finding in Cheltenham and  Gloucester.

They posted the above tally a few days ago and today (yesterday?) they set off to find some more.
