Sculpting Out Our Life

On July 20th we returned to the Loveland Sculpture Park.  It had been at least 4 years since we had ventured there last, and each year more bronze statues are added.  The day was cool and breezy which equated to a pleasant walk of about a mile.

 Even though this wasn't one of the new pieces, I had to take a photo of the fox with a fresh flower on his head.
The alligator statue was halfway hidden between the cement paths that meander through the park.  I wonder if any children are tempted to sit on him. 😕   Flowers are also in abundance, and the grounds are meticulously taken care of.
One of my favorites is the fox looking over the small waterfall.
Monarch Girl was a newer addition, being added in 2022.  This was quite interesting, and looked different depending on what angle you were looking at her from.
The setting for the mountain lion statue was perfect.  As you followed the path around the corner it looks like the lion is crouching on a rock, ready to pounce.  It is partially hidden by the bushes and trees.
This might be my new favorite!  The banana statue is called "On a Roll".  What an imagination Jack Hill had to think of putting skates on a banana!!

The "Hangin' Around" Bronze was added last year.  It reminded me of when I was young and hung from bars like that during recess (such a long, long time ago).

This guy seemed to be wondering why Don had such a stern look on his face.  Maybe he was thinking "Relax buddy and sit back like me.  You are way too uptight" LOL😂😂
Such a peaceful park.  During the time we meandered around, there were at least 3 groups of people being pushed around in wheelchairs by their caretakers.  I'm sure they enjoyed it just as much as we did, maybe more so.
