The Christian Science Plaza has been a sculpture gallery all summer hosting Convergence<\/a>, an exhibit by Boston sculptors May 1st to October 31st, 2013. If you haven't visited yet, you only have two weeks to see these works.<\/p>\n

Ed waited for a few seconds of calm on the reflecting pool to capture his image of the Great Heron by the team The Myth Makers.<\/a><\/p>\n

Comments on blog like the one linked to above are often ignored, but Penny tends to read them and was pleased to find one from Lynn Schweikart<\/a>, author of Peaceful Places Boston.<\/a> Lynn shared a moment of delightful serendipity when she visited.<\/p>\n

"Was admiring this striking sculpture yesterday, and was surprised to hear bird song emanating from it. "How clever!" I thought. "I wonder how the sculptors did that!" Then I noticed that a mockingbird had taken up residence on one of the saplings that make up the head–and was singing away!"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
