The TREE OF LIFE or People Tree is the symbol of Columbia, Maryland. The People Tree sculpture celebrates the spirit of Columbia. This public artwork was created by Pierre du Fayet. He came to New York City in 1956 and worked as an industrial designer and commercial artist. Innovative Pierre du Fayet answered an ad to work on a project in Baltimore and joined visionary James Rouse and the group planning Columbia, Maryland in the early 1960's to create this wonderful sculpture.

Columbia Triathlon #3 @ Centennial Lake
Columbia, Maryland

I captured and printed the image seen above of last year's Columbia Triathlon. This year my son and I attended and cheered for racers from the sidelines. People really show up for this event....take that swim, bike, and run. In yesterday's 2007 Columbia Triathlon the youngest person in the race was 13 years old and the oldest person in the race was 71 years old.......a lot of fit people in this race and people looking to get fit participated. Even Adrian Fenty, the Mayor of Washington, DC and his father ventured out to Columbia, Maryland to race. And among the participants were past Olympic medalists and national champions in the sport of triathlon and other sports.

Celebrate the Day.....Get Yourself Fit........Make Staying Healthy a Lifestyle!
