Sculptor Paul Roger-Bloche Mother and Child Statue
On the way back from getting coffee with a colleague last Thursday, before the evening session of Open House, S. showed me this statue. Today I returned to photograph it in the sinking October sunlight.
As I drove home, I was thinking about a mother’s love for her child after spending a little time photographing the sculpture.
One block from school - Paul Roger-Bloche bronze sculpture,
L’Enfant,
created 1899.
Overbrook Boulevard and Ravilla Street intersection.
Here’s a link to the story about how Boy Scout Troop 224 rediscovered this statue beneath vegetation, when just the head was showing through. 
Beautiful! What a find.

Beautiful shot! I wonder how many people pass by this everyday and don’t notice?

I love the second shot – it has a real depth of feeling about it.

The second photo is outstanding! And the story about how Boy Scout Troop 224 rediscovered the statue beneath vegetation is really heartwarming. Thanks.
