Here’s the perfect way to take flight on an exploration of the Rail Trail into South End — take a photo standing in front of “Wonder Wings.” The nearly 7-foot-wide wings are part of [**\#SouthEndBlooms**](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/southendblooms/?hl=en), a weekend series of pop-up art installations and activities through mid-June.

The “Wonder Wings” are fiber art constructions, crocheted by local creatives [**Ashley Jane McIntyre**](https://www.instagram.com/ashleyjanemc/?hl=en) and [**Kelly Rose Zimmerman**](https://www.instagram.com/kellyrosecreations/?hl=en), both members of [**CRAFT CLT**](https://www.instagram.com/wecraftclt/?hl=en), a collective of artists “connecting the textile arts community through history, skill-building and local partnerships.” The wings took over two weeks to create.

The wings are installed at “[Edna’s Porch](http://www.charlotterailtrail.org/projects/2016/7/29/transformer-plaza),” bright yellow swings just off the Rail Trail on E. Carson Street, kitty-corner to Midnight Diner.

\#SouthEndBlooms is sponsored by **South End** and **Charlotte Center City Partners** and managed by **Charlotte Is Creative**. Installations (or “Blooms”) range from visual art to floral art, musical performances, dance, henna art and more.
