‘By the Pond,’ Chelsea Ritter-Soronen

According to the information accompanying the mural: “This moral honors the spirited adoration of exploring the natural wonders of Southwest DC. The oversized flowers and greenery remind us that there is magic everywhere if only we are curious enough to find it.”

*****

I read about a new series of murals funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in Southwest DC decorating the walls of an underpass, so the three of us went to check them out. They weren’t the easiest thing to photograph, due to poor lighting, parked cars, busy bike lanes on either side of the roadway and traffic traveling through the underpass, but I managed to get all of them, one way or another (and lived to tell the tale).
