Iowa City

Stream of conscious thinking as I sat around this water fountain. This view is from 6 stories up, but eventually I went down there and sat on a park bench.

Fun to be in a small downtown city, watching 4 water spouts jump out of the pavement, loop 6 feet in the air and plop back down into the ground.

Kids came running to the fountain, and people all around would smile at the laughter and joy in the children's faces of all sizes touching the water.

Some people were reading, eating ice cream cones, gelato and some sitting watching on the park bench.

A guy was playing bass at an outside cafe.

Parents with all sizes of children were wondering around the plaza. Some were at a playground and some were signing their children up for college.

Tank tops with sweaters, long sleeve shirts with iron creases, flip flops, crocks, tennis shoes.

Shuffle, skip, saunter, stop.... turn around.
