Goodbye, farmer's market; I will miss you. See you next year!

the Red Ball Project at Federal Plaza, Chicago

The first time we saw it, it was suspended - floating, hovering. It reminded Heidi of Donald Barthelme's story "The Balloon." It reminded me of Le Ballon rouge.

Today, it was in a different place, a different role. What does the red ball remind you of? More pictures

the big red ball

This is just too cool. I'm so disappointed I missed seeing it today - I work within walking distance of LaSalle St. Bridge. I'm totally staking out the day it'll be at Federal Plaza, though - with camera in hand! via

(Non-relatedly, it's even cooler than the red button - which by the way I would recommend you NOT click.)
