Someone has wonderfully installed some great public art…yellow butterflies, made of metal, attached to utility poles. I have seen these in several locations west of Broadway E along Summit E and Belmont E, but hopefully they are in other locations as well. I wish I had a picture to post, but I am one of those rare individuals who doesn’t own a camera.
I think this is an outstanding example of true art, e.g. that which adds color and beauty to the streetscape, and which is devoid of any self-aggrandizement or advertising….as opposed to graffiti, all of which is just vandalism, or postering, which can be OK initially but quickly becomes a mess because the postering regulations are ignored.
To whoever created and installed this wonderful art: THANK YOU a million times!

They made me smile when I saw them. It always makes me happy to think about people spending money just to create something that everyone can enjoy. Even better than the stickers of the swans that I’m so very fond of over on this side of the hill.
Here’s what Hillku had to say
I like them alright but they’re a little, oh, i dunno, safe, no? Probably be able to buy something like it at Urban Outfitters soon.
is another man’s art. while you may think all spraypaint and stickers are just vandalism there may be some who see these butterflies in much the same way. be careful of how you judge things.
