Happy Independence Day

 Happy Independence Day!

Don't Lose Your Head

 

Self Portrait

 Taking a picture of the sculpture that was "taking a picture" of me.

Knightly

 More from the Washburn Park Water Tower.  This dude means business.

(That white spec to the right is the moon.)

Swoopy

 Beware the Land Fish in its native habitat.  It can swoop down on you without warning.

Seaworthy

I went to a friend's birthday party yesterday in her backyard oasis.  There are always interesting things to take pictures of.  She loves mermaids and had this sitting on a table outside.

Convergency

A week ago I happened to come upon this interesting roundabout sculpture.  Being that it's round, it seems fitting to be here.  It looks like the inner part of the ring is crushed glass.  I may have to investigate it further someday.  

Ok, so then I start googling and find out that its installation was a big to-do for the city of Bloomington and has been around since 2015.  It's called Convergence and it's 35 feet tall!  You can read more about it on the artist's page.

To get a perspective on size, here is another angle.  It is quite large.

Wickedly

Rusty the Dragon and the white-washed bones of all his victims.

Extemporary

This seems to be prevalent in our neighborhood – putting old, unwanted, or broken dishware in the garden.  I like it.  I'll have to keep it in mind the next time I break something. 

Froggies

 Ribbit practice is very important.

Squiffy

I bet the sassy shark and the drunk dolphin in the background were the ones who polished off that lovely green bottle of fish wine.  

This yard has no end.  You never know what you're going to see next!

Treachery

It isn't the fact that the goofy little creature in the cage is so dangerous that it needs to be guarded by Darth Maul and a kinky disembodied Spiderman with a whip.  What is truly disturbing is the psycho photobomber in the background, cackling with glee and wallowing in the flowers after taking out a dinosaur.  Be afraid of the quiet, innocent-looking ones.  Be very afraid.

Swankily

 They say art should speak to you.  I'm not sure what this piece is saying, but it sure is colorful.  

The turtle looks happy and in no hurry to move.

Gamey

 Some people plant some really gamey plants in their garden.  Just don't drop them on your foot!

Cagy

 Some people don't let their Pink Flamingos run free in the yard.

Unwittingly

While out on a walk this past Saturday, we unwittingly came across a yard that resembled a mini sculpture park.  Everything under the sun was there, including this lovely antique plate installation.   More to come.

Machinery

 

Pudgy

 I dare you to guess what kind of animal this is supposed to be, according to the artist who created it.

Yucky

 This looks like a giant, petrified furball that some Kittysaurus acked up.
