PICTURE TIME!



The seat on this bike looks uncomfortable

Picture time!  We visited a very interesting place called "Monarch Sculpture Park," just outside of Lacey.  Dale told us of it, as it borders the Chehalis Western Trail, which he uses for either running or bicycling training. 

 This park is unusual in the way the hundreds of sculptures are placed on many acres of land, and the artists have tried to incorporated landscape to portray a message to the viewer.

And Tammy thinks her head is big!

 I guess this is supposed to represent some sort of flying insect at rest.

I particularly enjoyed this butterfly.  The whiteness of it is striking against the lush green background. 

 

I didn't know mermaids could live this far from the ocean, but this one was enjoying a little swim, so as proof, I just had to take this photo.  (Hey, there is a sculpture of David over in Italy that shows everything)





Tammy does have talent!

 







Again, a figure in white shows up strikingly against a lush green background.  I like the way this figure is placed behind a fence.  From my past hunting experiences, I have observed that animals like to travel along fence lines.

I don't know what this represents, but it is sure interesting with the clouds in the background.


Pick-up-sticks

This one is huge!  And there is another one that is even larger that is a Croquet set.

  

This park even had a Sacred Grove!  (Of interest is the fact that it is located just behind the place where the mermaid was swimming)

Just like the white sculptures, Bev had a white sweater on, which made her stand out against the lush green.









I don't know what this thing is, but from the smile on Tam's face, she must really like it. 








Even though this dragon fly is not white, I have to think that it is so interesting.  In real life, many bugs are camouflaged so well that they blend in with nature.




He's got the whole world in His hands!




















These figures are huge, except for Tammy, of course!

To bad, the Timberline girl's basketball team can't recruit these tall girls; but then again, are they really girls?
