Bean Gets a Bath

Junko and I did a long photowalk on Tuesday after the Van Gogh exhibit, including through Millennium Park where we were able to watch the relatively rare Bean-Bath.

Nice reflections

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very cool spin on this subject. Love how the water is distorting his own reflection.

[Rob Z]

A Bean-Bath!! What a marvellous term and concept - so very practical too. It's turned your always wonderful Bean shots into a super interesting action photo.

[Joan Robillard]

Hadn't thought about it but I can see where it might be necessary

[Lou Ann]

A cool storytelling image. It looks so different in this shot.

[Kat]

Great action capture, clean jelly bean :)

[kali]

great moment to capture

[Tunia McClure]

No wonder it gives such a clear reflection of the city.

[Myrna O'Hara]

cool

[Kathy A]

This is very cool

[Carrie Shepeard]

This is cool! I had no idea the Bean gets baths!

[Rick]

Wow, that would sure be something to see. Great shot. Probably too much pollen on it. :-)

[Patty P]

cool beans. They do say to rinse the beans so.... :)

[Kathy]

I wondered how it stayed so clear.

[Diane]

Never thought before about the Bean needing a bath. Neat shot

[Taffy]

@pattyp Hehe!

[eDorre]

Shine on Bean! Neat catch

[Issi Bannerman]

Super capture of the Bean's bath!

[Lois]

Really! How interesting to see!

[Elizabeth]

Fun shot of the bean maintenance crew in action.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Super shot

[Pam Knowler]

What a fun Bean shot!!

[Wylie]

ha ha, brilliant so to speak!

[Junko Y]

Oh, fun! I like how you captured depth in your scene. I was going to post mine but the birds took over :)

[KV]

So cool!

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely story-telling image, explains why the reflections are always so clear

[Harry J Benson]

Good presentation

[Kathie]

Great find. Perhaps it will grow with a little water.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot- I didn't think they'd have to wash this but it makes sense if it hasn't rained lately. You can't see all those cool reflections if there's dust all over it.

[RonM]

Always wondered how they keep it shiny. Who has to climb up and scrub on the top?

[Fisher Family]

An impressive bean, with super reflections!

[Caroline]

LOL What a lucky sighting. A unique shot for sure.

[Leslie]
